Hi All I hope your well :smiley:
Its getting ever closer to the day i can actually drive my 89 mk2 gti! Its just finished having some welding done to the floor pan and sills and then i can start putting the interior back in then its off to an MOT!
But as per usual their is something else that needs doing and that is the brake pipes. The rear piping is ok (and is copper) so the front two and 2 main pipes from the reservoir that go along underneath the car need replacing. I was wondering how much of a job it is, shall i buy pre bent piping to save time etc or buy a big roll and bend into shape? i was thinking buying this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vw-Golf-Mk2-Brake-Pipe-Diy-Repair-Kit-/231675035066?hash=item35f0e87dba
Would this be hopefully all i need to complete the set up?
Thanks
Gavin

Take your time and pull the copper out straight.
Bend it with a proper tool to avoid crimping it, I use some cord threaded through it to help.
Copper can get damaged from flick ups off the road and clumps with the jack

thanks for both your inputs. Hopefully i get her back from the welders early next week so i can get started!
