Is it as fast as a peugeot 107 that was seen on splitter suffers recently? wink
I don't think so, that thing was as fast as a 1.4 polo wink
Well remembered! If you hadn't guessed I dont actually own a 107.

I saw the nice shots of your car at Prescott. What an excellent project! Always wanted a T5 but haven't made the jump.

Look forward to seeing this in person sometime smile

Only just found this thread and read from start to finish, great way to spend a lunch break! You make it look so easy, just chucking in an extra engine.

Amazing car!

Easy when I put it on the other side smile, that was the first test fit, and I just grabbed the nearest caliper smile

they are off something, but obviously with my own caliper brackets, I also needed the centers machining a little to fit over the hub.
