	This one:- Anybody know a contact name/number for the guy who built it or can confirm something for me? Reading the feature on it in PPC it says it has something like "Mk3 Golf strut bodies, Mk1 (Golf? Polo? Doesn't say??) Inserts and Audi 80 top mounts" I just need to confirm what the inserts are really, and the reason for using them. The stock mk3 golf struts are 16" long fully compressed just wondered if the mk1 inserts make them shorter. Cheers Matt

	I think it probably means Mk3 POLO strut bodies, shortened to accept the 1" shorter mk1 golf insert which require the audi 80 size top mounts (polo outside diameter, golf inside diameter!). This is becoming more and more popular.

	Do you know the overall length of them? If they're shorter than 16" they might work better. They're going on the Uno so would have to bodge some sort of top mount up. Matt

	Seems to be the Derbyblade a guy I know was talking about, since we're both in Yorkshire, could be the same one. Lad I knows called Rob, I think his mate was building something along those lines.

	It it space-framed - how has he got it to be RWD? Welded in a new floorplan or modified the original one?
