ahhhh looks sooo good, cant beat a MK1 rear end!! also i have a question mate, what did you use on the rear subframe to replace the 3 weird wool looking pads? does that make any sence? lol

They were used to stop sound viberations transmitting through to body and made of felt and when you replace them soak them in oil so as not to hold water......................
