gbh murderwagen

pretty much done and dusted! engines sat on a trolley waiting to be stripped and rebuilt,unbolted the subframe and lifted shell over the top! (dont think the garage the last bloke used wanted to take the inlet system off to change the rocker gasket theres oil everywhere even in the spark plug recesses!) all the loom is in a box on me racking and the shell minus the front chassis legs is sat on my trailer awaiting the scrap man!

flipped her onto the roof to take off the pump lines and rear beam! wont be able to do that to swap em over to gbh! and will have to get new disks and pads for it too! got the 16v master cylinder and 256's to fit so should see some better stopping distances! mind you the 239's work really well so must be the goodridge hoses helping out!

Looking good bud. the 239 brakes are poo on mine want to swap to 256 or 280 and rear disc but thats if i dont sell it?:\ And need to get her moted ect if i dont sell it. Hope all gose as planed

mine are really good but the braided lines and good quality disks and pads help!

When I had GBH I put the braided hoses on, the front got new discs, pads and reconditioned calipers. The back got new hubs, shoes and I'm pretty sure new wheel cylinders. Missing the old car now but glad you have plans for it. Good to see it in good hands again!!

can assure you she's being looked after T she's getting a new shelf tommorrow along with the gti black headlining and trim fittings!

it really is a pain in the arse job but its worth it i think! if your going to change your headlining i reccomend you get it down somwhere flat firs an duct tape all the weak areas before you even try to fit it in the car! gives you a bit more room for mistakes! oh and dump the front seats so you can move around easier!
