Hello fella, welcome to the club!

It should all just bolt up, if you use the mk3 wiring loom, fuse box etc it will make life easy!

Post some pics up!

looks nice mate. you will need a vr6 corrado front cross member + master clutch cylinder + pedal box . and a mk2 gti brake servo.

Its an 8v. Originally a 16v gti but had a full corrado g60 transplant so has rhd instead of lhd. got all golf g60 bits including electric recaros. Will put some pics and spec up when i pick her up

I thought you could use a mk3 pedal box too? But you definately need a rado cross member.

Ideally you use Rado pedalbox & clutch master but you can use the mk3 vr6 pedal box and clutch master they just take more time to fit. If using the mk3 pedabox the pedals also end up being in a slightly different/awkward place so they may need to be modified if you have big clod hoppers like me.

I used rado pedalbox and clutch master (all hydro clutch setup's require you to hammer the firewall flat where the clutch master is located) and you also need to cut and weld the pedalbox top bracket over 20mm or so.

Mk3 pedalbox is all round a bit more hassle apparently but can be done

For the brakes I used a new G60 brake master, 1.8 driver servo, G60 280mm disc setup and braided hoses and the brakes are aweosme!
