Absolutely, had to jack up rear n/s take wheel off and support with axle stand right at the very back of car ,remove jack , cut away some of the rear floor where floor pan meets. Lots of other fettling and definitely not easy but achievable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I'm-no-mechanic 3 3 Cars Posted May 5, 2022 Wow! That is a project! I shall look forward to hopefully spotting it out and about in Cwmbran sometime! You might spot my 205 out and about around Cwmbran from time to time, mines a 1998 1.4 Generation LHD, blue, but a deeper blue than your GTI. You should be able to see a pic on my profile. All the best with the ongoing work, will be checking back to see your progress, great work! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
