Thanks a lot
Body kit is original BBS from VW Golf I - i bought it ( if I recount it to GB ) for 40 GBP. - Almost anything you need to cut, they simply fits =)
Rims are 9.5Jx16 with 225/40 tires - It cost only 120GBP. LOL
And now the probs: Brakes + hand break, Central shaft - i broke 2 of them - but I am thinking of BMW E30 shaft.. , Fuel pump - my is to weak for full revs.
(in addition sorry for my english - reading is much easier than writing for me )

I dont know what is difference between MK I and MK II =(
Yes the front piece is from golf too, its unbelievable how it fits
Ah i forgot - there are 5cm lowering blocks on the rear and lowered springs from clio williams on the front. Also rear dampners are from racing skoda fabia, they work great, but in the front are only stock so they are too soft.

Thanks a lot. I am glad to hear you enjoy it.
In addition i must say, that its a low-cost racer, averything together costs around 800GBP.
The rollcage is from Toyota Cellica - it was assamblaged rollcage, so i can put it inside and there I weld it.
About the racing usage: I thought, it would be better to use it only as hillclimb car, because there would be problem with spare parts, if I did mistake. The hillclimb is shorter, so there would be less time to do a mistake but its faster than rally...

There is problem with masterbrakecylinder - cause my car is left hand drive, and there is a collision with inlet manifold. I try to use different brake cylinder, but in its to weak ( I think that inside is small amount of brake fluid - its not enough to press pistons in brake caliper to hard , when I press brake pedal down to floor )
In addition i post pictures of my "Street legal" Volvo 340 - its 1.6 diesel
