Hi Graham, I guess technically, there's no reason not to use rear drums and handbrake from a 33. After all, the rear does very little of the braking on a 'sud....

My 1991 33 SW 1.7 16v has broken down (again!). The car suddenly started running very badly, and the engine will hardly spin to 3 or 4000 rpm. At the same...

I have just done my first rear drum conversion and am very happy with the result. Remember to change the entire rear axle and arms/shock/spring etc. One thing...
