    Something else that I learnt while doing the wheel swaps. 15's don't fit over Cupra brakes.

    Good thing I haven't converted the yellow car yet. It will get the 15's for now and I need to talk to an engineer about all the mods I want to do.

    2 litre ABF 16v with twin Dellorto's
    16's with bigger flares
    Cupra brakes - but I might stick to the smaller brakes after driving the car when it's done. From what a few people have told me the bigger brakes aren't needed.
    Cupra gearbox with hydraulic clutch
    roll cage

    OK, I know I can dream but one day the yellow one will be back on the road.

    And another life lesson.

    The coilovers from grey don't fit in the yellow one.

    Bolt holes don't match.

    I found this out after spending a couple of hours in the hot sun, slaving away, sweating like the proverbial.

    Time to kick back, get a cold one and wait for the sun to stop cooking me before going back out and putting the shocks back where they came from.

    Or I can see what parts I have from the MK2 and Cupra and build a hub that takes the MK2 brakes, fits the MK1 control arms and axles and then fit the coilovers.

    Naaaaw, think the coldie wins out.
