Toms 89 Mk2 Golf

So I’ve been having issues with the clutch either the pedal was really light (a combination of possibly the wrong master cyclinder and then also parts coming loose) I did know there was a factory solution from a different VW but I had been putting it off as the pedal boxes are hard to find and some what expensive. Anyhow I have been waiting a month for this to arrive from the UK.

have recently upgraded from the flux core to a proper welder. (Nothing wrong with flux core but I wanted to up my game)

theres a fair amount of beating of the firewall and it was never going to look completely factory but I’m not worried (function over form) on that note I spent a lot of time trying to get my perfect pedal position for some heel toe action as I have to mount the drive by wire pedal to the pedal box again.

clamped to my work bench you can only make car noises and pretend to heel and toe for so long before you realise you should get something done. 

As far as I can see now I’m very happy with the result now that I have it back in, although I really hope I get a good pedal feel.

It’s all completely hidden behind the heat shielding cause the exhaust manifold is right there.

I think that’s enough for tonight as I’m trying to tidy up an mistakes I’ve made so want to keep on going while I’m fresh. Hopefully the motor should be back in and running again soon.
