Just been having a read of this thread. you have gone through it with this. They are fun little cars to drive. Hope you get as much enjoyment out of it as we all do ours.

Just waiting for ABS sensors and new Hubs thats it now. then once the beam is back from powder coating it will be put back together and fitted. I will be proud at this point because it will be the first time ive done a proper rebuild on a bit of the car. some people probably will say its nothing but im not mechanically experienced

looks like its coming along nicely.

your joking? i had mine refurbed £52 per wheel including the centre caps!!!

195/40 or 45/16

If anyone has some heated seats Id be happy to take them off their hands.

If you could get me the part number that would be great.. My Rear beam has been dropped of at the powder coater. Was tempted by a decent colour just went matte black in the end. Appreicate the link to the pipe. I found a pair of brake dust covers on Ebay they were like £36 but I was suprised when I went to VW and they were only £8 each

the vw centre caps are hard to get. these wheels were easy to get in 18s but 16s are really hard to get.

Have you got a picture of them? and are the definitely 4x100 because they do them in a set of 5x100 in 16s. Did you also get the centre caps aswell? I was lucky i got my bbs 321s for 100euros from germany with £40 shipping bargain. then i got the centre caps for £50 for all 4. dirt cheap.

How did you get your exhaust to sit so close to the bumper?

closet set up for sale atm are 17s bbs rc302 which are up for sale for £800 and they are in a poor state.

haha i have a lovely set in shadow chrome not for sale though.

Thank you for your help. Its all stripped down currently being powder coated, i have currently got, new hubs, brake likes, dust covers, stub mounting plate, bushes, brake discs, pads, all new bolts, clips. going the whole 9 yards. brakes are in for sand blasting and powder coating, rebuild kit came in yesterday. So they will get rebuilt when i get them back.

being a proper b*stard!! :(

I am currently in the process of doing a rear axle rebuild parts are coming in thick and fast now. I am having trouble getting the ASB sensor out of the stub axle on the rear? any tips or guidance would be handy please.

Im currently refurbing at GTI one then my one in my car will be for sale.

what stud lenght, pitch and diameter did you go for?

Do you have a link and now did you go about doing the conversion?

have you done a stud conversion? or are they just strange wheel bolts?

Ive got elsa win and mines in english

119k miles, leaking a bit of oil, so piston rings need replacing other than that never had a issue with that engine.

Rich I got another engine aswell if you want it?

this is so helpful im sorting mine out at the minute

the blue is lush. especially if the paint is decent.
