Had a go on the golf today, a pics say a thousand words so...
Off came the mk2 GTI rear axle
Lined up the mk3 axle
I had previously swapped a few brake lines over, greased them up and swapped the calipers to some good ones I bought a while back with braided hoses
Came across a slight problem here, the bias valve on the mk3 beam is about 7 inches further back! No biggie I'l just extend the brake pipes
Came across an even bigger problem here! I snapped a bolt that fixes the beam to the chassis. Any tips on how to rectify this without taking the beam back off?
Feeling a bit down at this point I finished up, stuck some wheels on and stood back to admire my work
Then having a bit of time left I attacked some boring wiring jobs. First up, remove the dash. Deja Vu sets in here, seen all this before so many times...
As you can see here I've swapped the loom for the clocks and swapped the stalks over from the mk3. Just got to fish out the MFA loom from the donor and plug that it. Question of the day.... What are these 2 anonymous plugs for that come off the 2 blue fusebox plugs for the mk3 clocks?
