Just a few pics, but not very good
The green one was a 2dr MkV, fitted the 24v cossie when i first got it as the red one had the cossie turbo engine
I then had a little off
Then fitted the cossie turbo in the green one. Had both at the same time.

You will need a 2.0 back axle which you then can fit either a quaife or a capri lsd

That looks in bloody good nick that mate, looks nice on the minilites aswell.
Here's a link to mine that i'm currently restoring with YB power. Cossie4i is keeping a close eye on it for me.
Incidentally, I bet that hurt when you stuffed the red one? Bloody hell.

And who says old cars are unsafe if it was a modern car it would have ended in 2 bits

Right then i've used both so heres my verdict
Gaz good adjustment but corrode easy (mine after 500 miles)
Spax excellent shox not so easy to adjust but lasted and looked good for over ten years
Spax are more expensive but imo well worth it
