rear brake conv. question

[Jonas Karlsson <jkarlsso@metabolex.com>]

Hi, 

Thanks to whoever posted the info on the black 16v sitting in a junkyard 
in Hayward Ca. I looked it up in the yellow pages and it's 3 minutes 
from my work. I now have a lower stress bar to put in on my 85. I also 
picked up a TB from an Audi GT. 52mm secondary. Plus the upper oil 
"shield" from the hydraulic lifter read of a fox. all for $25 :) I'm 
happy. 

Now my question is this. The rear brakes on the 16v are still there. I 
was interested in putting them onto my 'roc. How difficult is this? I 
tried to compare the two, from mental pictures, and from what I could 
tell, the setup is pretty similar. But the brake lines looked different. 
(attaches differently to the brake unit) The lines on the junked car are 
cut so if I can't use my own, I'd need new ones. Also what would I need 
to pull off of the junked car, Just the brake part, or the whole torsion 
beam/unit thingie (yes that is the official name for it). I didn't take 
the rotors off to get a good look, but it seems like it might be 
difficult to get just the brake units off. 

Also the base for the FUBA is still there. (not the antenna though) I can 
imagine it easy to remove, but how hard is it to install. Is it 
difficult to get the headliner off without damaging it. What should i 
get off of the junk car in order to get the whole unit. Is it all by the 
antenna base or is there something in the dash as well. 

TIA

PS.  For those interested in this car, The junkyard has put chains and 
lock on the hood, so the engine compartment is pretty much off limits. 
The interior is also all taken.
