Hey chaps and chapettes.
Finally brought the mk2 home after sitting in a field for 7 years.

Have obtained an epytec conversion bracket as making it haldex complete but wondered regards 2 things.

Wiring in the a3 loom best way to do so.

Driveshafts as believe the a3 ones will be too big. Shorten or change for another type if anyone knows.

This is my 1st ever project car and any advise would be ace. If anyone lives near worcestershire and could potentially help would be willing to pay accordingly.

Thanks
Zak 🙂
