regarding brakes lines , get some s/s tubing and make new ones that's what I did...
Four front assy's, 2 rear assys on my axle...
No more rust or corrosion

its not that bad really. I did my whole conversion for less than a hundred dollars when it was all said and done. you have most everything you need already. My best advise is to figure out who has cars sitting in their backyards
. they are a much better source than the classifieds at a much better price.

Most of the vehicles I have ever owned have been purchased from out of someone's yard. I know where there's a mkii GTI that I know has been sitting since 2005.
I did a hunt through the "field" yesterday looking for that old 1.5 block I had so I could steal it's bracket. No dice. I did find the complete under carriage w/1.8 motor and tranny from my first mkii jetta, and a complete 1.8 fox motor and tranny. I forgot I had those! I'm going to give PartsPlace a call tomorrow and see what they can offer.
Not to hijack your thread but I just found a cabriolet with a good body.
I have a 1.5 with a 4 speed
The cabriolet has an auto trans...think the 1.5 will work with the auto?
