The weathers turned ;)

[Zack]

Yup, still not on the road. Hopefully getting it to Harold here when the weather turns to buckle some things up, then some suspension modifications, new interior and headliner (waiting in boxes in the basement), new wheels and then to the body shop to fix a few issues.

I?d just like to say, the project is still not on the road yet. Talk about a grandpa build!

Equally for 10.1" brakes that are direct bolt on, get stuff from a late model scirocco 2. This includes the upright, caliper and carrier. You can also get the rear disc brakes from the S2 as well. Grab the rear stub axle as well.

New paint looks awesome

I think I'm going to keep it 4 x 100 for now. Thanks for all that info Dave! I need the hub and everything for the MK3 10.1 right?

Yep,
-Knuckle, with ball joint (they are bigger than the mk1)
-Caliper with full brake hose
-Caliper bracket
-Pads
-Rotors

Just a little note but I cant remember if the 3 holes for the ball joint that goes through the mk1's control arm fully line up but they might need a filing the hole a little bit. That could be for VR6 ball joints but its been a awhile since I have done this.

Doing this car justice for sure. Looks great!

As side note, I will be trying to source a disc upgrade for the front, and discs for the rear. If anyone has a lead on a cheap way to do this I'm all ears :) Also, Jason, what kind of parts you got mang?

-The mk3 10.1" Brakes is a good setup for the 4x100.
-Also the 4x100 Corrado 11" is great but you need minimum 15" wheels and I think the master cylinder need increased size if its a 20mm get a 22mm master.

-If you go the 5x100 route I would do the early vr6 style pre 1996.

Rears disc is all from a scirocco and a mk2, hub and brackets, also recommend grab the rear proportioning valve from a scirocco 2. Will also need some brake hoses for the rear calipers, I would run the mk4 ones personally, but mk3 rear calipers are good too. Mk1 and MK2 rear calipers are a joke. I wouldn't run either of them, the mk3 and mk4 stands the test of time.

All this can be cheap if you get used from good cars, unless these items are on a shelf somewhere.
