Thanks!
I spent last evening installing Mk4 rear calipers and new front pads. Now I can't get the damn air out of the brake lines... Grrrr.

I like that car, Kenny.
Ranked No. #1 in initial quality
Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.
Thanks, Kevin!
I did the brake bleed again, didn't get any extra air that I noticed. My brother found this thread: VWVortex.com - Can't Solve: Very Low and Soft Brake Pedal! that describes my issue exactly. Bah, I need a booster. Ordered up a reman, I hope it works out and fixes this. Might explain why the pedal was pretty soft, I just chalked it up to the seized rear calipers. Made it awfully hard to heel toe, lol.
Actually, I spent a semi-intense couple of years - late 70s-early '80s - playing with Rabbits and Golfs because that was what my buddies were driving.
I never went as far as buying one, but I got my share of seat-time.
We'd run around the woods doing timed runs on the old POR courses that ran through the Stonington Peninsula on Northern Lake Michigan.
LOTS OF FUN WAS HAD.
I can imagine that was a ton of fun. All of our "local" rally roads are 4 hours away, but I'll definitely be driving up this year
Some quick pics:
New timing belt and tensioner I need to set the distributor timing tomorrow still.
When I pulled the sparkplugs, I noticed the gap was miniscule. One of them was so tight that I could only fit a sheet of paper in the gap. I regapped to .031"

lol, that's what I've been doing!
Master cylinder is shot. I can see why, the bore and everything is coated with rust. I guess that's what happens when it sits for 8 years and then it's driven for a year with no attention paid to the brakes. If I don't have a nice firm pedal after another bleed I may just go insane, lol
