mk1 rear disc conversion
« on: 13 December 2005, 20:51 »
hi all,

I am about to brake a mk2 8v GTI with rear discs, so thought I may as well pop them onto my mk1. Has anyone else done this before (I know it's an age old mod) and if so which bits do I need to keep? And how easy is the job?

Cheers in advance,

Rob

(btw: if you want any mk2 8v bits ask me - it's a later small bumper 8v)
