Mk5 rust removal, new sills and subframe rebuild

<< < (6/6)

Clarky:
Looks incredible ! Great set up you seem to have with a pit and a spray booth too....very jealous indeed...

D2TPP:


Inching closer to getting it on the road  :driver:  Still need to clean up and fit the side trims and get back under the car to finish connecting up the fog lights etc.  and try and remember how the hell all the wiring on the boot lid goes back?!  I am really liking the colour though, pretty chuffed with it.

Looking good :smiley:

I have plans to do the same with the underside over winter, how did you mount the hard line for the rear brakes that runs along the top of the subframe? also do you have a part number for the alloy rear hubs you bought or know what car they came off?

Thanks

D2TPP:
Thanks Dave,

The hubs were off a b6/b7 Passat, I had to buy some longer bolts for a few of the components due to the alloy being thicker than the steel, but they were a straight fit.  For the bolts I took the original ones to TPS and said ‘you got one 20mm longer than this’ etc, but also had a look at their diagram for the b6.

For the brake lines I used the original clips that attach to the rear subframe, which wasn’t too bad.  My daily driver at the moment is a mk1 TT and the rear lines for that were a pain in the arse! 

I’ve added a screenshot below from eBay for the 4 hubs I bought.
