Rear conversion hoses arrived over the weekend, so rear end should be pretty much sorted now, bar disks and pads.

Ordering master cylinder tomorrow and probably a reel of brake line to renew them all.

Cambelt will be changed Thursday and hopefully ECU sent off somewhere this coming week too.

Get some brake unions for those lines, boyo.

Mike might be the best source, to make sure they're the right ones.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

So tonight I, yes read I, bolted the wishbones back on, and attached hubs (50% anyway) ready to fit the new suspension..

Going to need many more sessions at the gym unfortunately, Mikes Audi still isn't a runner!    :laugh:  :grin:

You'd be mental to do it with the engine in the car!!
