Phat VR6 3 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2970226Detailed pics regards gear selector in here. Also the chopping out and reinforcement of the rear for front subframe.Im unsure about handbrake. perhaps make a bracket to make standard rear caliper bolt onto front hubs and use the 288s on the rear Link to post Share on other sites
