95 S2 Limo Replica

[sjw185]

Work on rear differential.
Found a old allen key in my tool box from about 25 years ago when working on my Jetta syncro.
Removed plugs and drained oil.
Fitted new seals and filled with fresh oil.

Made up new rear brake line for subframe, repainted heat shields and tank straps.
Refitted subframe on its own first.

Looking good
"street hardness set up from Verkline." do you know how these compares to the track hardness?
Is the street hardness a step up from original bushings or quite similar?

[sjw185]

Think red poly is supposed to be similar to original but probably less forgiving on the bumps that rubber.
What it will be like to drive only time will tell? looking forward to feeling the B4 rear all refreshed
Verkline street is 75ShA and track is 85ShA

I have Alberts red bushes and they are fairly soft but slightly harder than oe. Spot on for road use.

Sounds good, Using your Nothelle thread for reference

Nice. Glad you found it of use

Continued fitting wishbones and rear differential.

Painted rear calipers and ordered rear HEL lines.
Unfortunately I ordered the wrong female end but made it work with a washer and a longer male fitting against the spring clip.

Looks like a nice S2 lurking in the background?

Tried the hoover with a wee hose but I think ive already got all the loose stuff out and I am left with the a few crushed bits that wont shift.

Resorted to brute force and swearing loudly but no joy.

After all the fighting trying to unlatch the rear seats they just opened all on there own
The release oil must have worked its magic.
The bigger side needed some additional work as I bent the level when trying to force it with the spanner.
It was unlocking but the latch was not clearing the fixed pin.
Once I figured that out and bent the bar back its unlocking again.
