So have had this project brewing for a while, finally got some tiime this week to make it happen.
Its being built to a spec for a customer, who sent the car up from Melbourne.
The car is John Golfers old 2 door, that rolled in here with a tired old 8v engine and a faulty kjet system.
Crappy shot of the beast on a hoist
Its gonna need bigger brakes, thats for sure
Close up of the 280mm brake setup, which gives it VR6 brakes, but keeps the car 4 stud.
We used a Mk3 GL subframe, power steering rack, swaybars and A arms.
This allows you to bolt up the Mk3 Hubs, which would give you 256mm disks and meaty calipers.
I used 280mm VR6 calipers and carriers, which bolt to the Mk3 Hub with no modifications and by using a Cupra 16v disk, gives 280mm 4x100 stopping glory.
I chose the Mk3 GL width, as VR6 widetrack looks very wide on a Mk2 and limits wheel choices.
Sneak peak of whats cooking under the bonnet
