Eventually she'll get a rear disk conversion, and bigger fronts, but not until a bigger engine
I still got the girling 60's half done. Debating what to do with them, this or the valver?!?!?
Should really pull my finger out and get some projects done!!Comment

even a bigger booster/MC on stock brakes will be a significant upgrade, and fine if you're just putting about.
Minute you hit the brakes hard a couple times in a row (twisties), you'll wish you had GTI's.Comment

Fronts assembled

Just a little tip when putting pistons back in the calipers:
Put the piston seal in, get some brake fluid and smear a little around the seal and the piston bore (wear gloves). When you put the piston in, it needs a bit of lube to help it in. Line the piston up and push it in, may help with a bit of wooden leverage or a small mallet. Don't go wacking it!!! Then put the dust seal in place... And done

So finally got to bleed the brakes and give her a test run. Brakes were terrible!!! Felt like it had no booster, sure enough it had packed it in.
I know at this point i should just get gti brakes, but im interested to see how the old 5c piece size pads go. So a mk3 booster and MC is on its way from Camden GTI.
As for everything else I can think of.... DONE!!
And a change of plans has occurred.
My mums mk4 recently was written off (ran into the back of by a 1 tonne ute
). So she asked i she could drive it. why not? At least the car will get used more, so I'm in the process of changing a few things to make it more 'mum worthy'.
Wheels, steering wheel, eventually get some softer shocks - speaking of which, anyone got any good shocks and springs???
Anyway she's very excited to be able to get to drive this, more so than any other new car. Which is hilarious, coz she ain't no car fan!
A recent shot of the bay, heaps cleaner and neater than before!!
