Mk1 Golf and early Mk2 Golf GTi (K-jet) will fit and have a better cam shaft fitted already and they will give you more go, you will need to block up the fuel injector holes on the back of the head. You need to make sure the heads have hydraulic tappets as I guess that’s what you have already, engi...

I would say start with the cheapest possibility and work through based on peoples advice. The o ring sounds a good shout. My old 205 gti used to use water but run fine. I was convinced it had issues but my Dad strongly. disagreed as it ran ok. On frosty/real cold days i always noticed more of a ste...

It's still sitting higher than level at the moment so i may well loosen the arm bolts and see if it drops at all too.

Just got to order the rear end now and get to it :)

The rack still has to go on but its nice to see the front end all new... minus the shocker bodies which didn't come up too well sadly. The arb bracket had a free turning bolt too and i had no welder or brazing rods to hand. I used superglue and cotton to make a repair patch and it held up excellent ...

Heres a few pics of old and new :)

I had a look at the sus arms just there and they are a little over level (a tiny bit higher than level in sus height ) So fingers crossed all is well and it will settle in. I am. amazed how low these cars can go on warn out suspension haha I have the funds and polybushes already so its rear end next...
