- As we are doubling the power output of the car I thought it would be a good idea to upgrade the rear brakes from Drum to disc using a full bolt on kit from Heritage Parts Centre.

Great skills, the Golf is looking brilliant. Iconic car and classics deserve to be brought back to life with modern power, brakes and suspension.
Great progress Dan. It’s great to see it back on wheels.
It's coming together just awesome! Love the build and can't wait to see (and hear) the end result!
Looking really nice now Dan the Golf is coming along nicely, when I used to fit those type of bearings I used to torque them down to a set number then back them of a little to preload the bearings, cant remember the exact figures but it was in the workshop manual for the car 🙏👍
Very fine Golf! Important issue. Drive the car to rust protection in dry weather before driving in wet weather.
Hey, Dan. Just watched the house and this, back to back; as always enjoy the content on both channels. I think both will be amazing, but just a little word of wisdom, if you don’t mind? Neither you or your Mrs can do everything all at once. Pace yourself and be proud of each little job you complete. Think of it like a loading bar…it will complete eventually. Keep going, mate.❤️
it's looking better and better Dan you can only do what you can do it's done when it's done don't stress over it , you have plenty on already with the house have a good week
We used to put a wheel on and then make sure the wheel turned with no resistance but not loosely job done
Totally agree. Looking for comments about adjustment for bearings and only your comment found. In video I also saw blocked brake disc. When the wheel take its place, the bearing will be heated and needed to be replaced
Nice kit to put rear disc brakes and Mk4 calipers on this Golf 🇬🇧 I will have check out this above kit at Heritage Parts, since I have Mk1 and Mk2 Sciroccos that need the drum brake upgraded since my cars will need more stopping power like your GTI 😎 Also glad to wheels on this Golf and sitting on the ground!
That paint work is gorgeous!
My Mk 2 had 15" BBS's, pain ted silver and a polished lip. Just suited the car......(car was Opel Monza Red, solid base coat).
Nice little update Dan. Hope the back gets better soon 👍
Any progress is good progress.
Great kit to have been given by #Heritagecarparts ! As before, great to be bolting on new mechs on beautiful chassis.... Gonna be a sweet ride bro!
Yoh bro u sharp wish we had ppl like u in S. A AWESOME STUFF KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK LEARNING ALOT FROM UR CHANNEL
Looks amazing sat on the floor. So good.
Good job so far, this will be awesome when you complete it.
*😏 Watching this video really enjoyed the process of repairing it step by step. 👍 Good job mate, keep it up..*
Progress is progress mate, keep chipping away. Not long now till you’ll be hitting the tarmac!
Great work!!! Greetings from Sthlm Sweden.
Get some nice 25mm Tesa tape to wrap the wiring, looks great!!
Defo dont overtighten the centre nut. Yours is spot on! The result is it crushes the bearing and very quickly it will collapse....Ive experienced it, its not good!
nice work , you should fit a brake pressure regulator for the rear disc conversion or they will lock up
Making good progress there Dan got to be said the mk1 golf is every 80/90s boy racers dream build I would of put a vr6 with a 6 speed box 🤪🤪 but a 20v still a weapon will be awesome to see it completed ✔️ soon come & good luck with the new house 🏡
20v turbo is the better choice...vr6 is to heavy for cornering in a mk1....
love the progress. i'm surley but sure working on my Vr6 golf. but. yhea life at times. can be a rude Fkr haha. but seeing yours keeps the vibes positive :P keep at it dan! your doing great!
Круто жду продолжения и первого выезда.
Hi Dan, I have been looking at this conversion kit also. Looking at a few forums people say you need brake compensators to stop "over braking" at the back? Will you be fitting them and if so could you share where you found them for sale? Cheers mate. Really awesome build so far!
Looking awesome mate. What bbs reps are they?
اتمنى لك التوفيق وان يكون لي قدرة على ان احسن من سيارتي مثلك
You can take off the 2kg golfclub on top of the shifter mechanism.
It's only there for positive feel when granny shifting.
In this case it's not necessary and it's kind of fugly in the shaved engine bay.
What servo set up are you going with? I need more boost i think on mine please
Could the Drop plate be turned over to create a riser instead?
What E brake cables are you gonna be running?
Bel video e soprattutto bellissima Golf.
volevo sapere pero', quali dischi freno e quali pinze freno hai usato nel posteriore .Grazie.
Looking good Dan ! 👍
Subbed

Que tal Dan saludos desde cd de mexico de verdad una inspiracion tu canal y tus consejos estoy por iniciar mi proyecto de restauracion en un golf mk1 4 puertas algun consejo ? Podrias enviarme un saludo en tu siguiente video a nombre de germanvag society🙏muchas felicidades por tan gran proyecto
😍❤😍
Get rid of the gold centres on them wheels!!! Silver 🤷🏽♂️
You ever wanna sell it, hit me up.
your nuts are too tight when they heat up you can tighten it just tighten to the point that there is no resistance from your discs @pepebikes #caribegtbergcup
