   If you're meaning just use the centre tube and fit your trailing arms, then yes, I believe you can.
   
   Some lower model early cars had slightly different tubes that didn't have ARB's, so worth checking it isn't that.

   of course you can, be better using it as a base for your gti parts though such as the arbs and torsion bars with new bearings and pins.

   Im pretty sure a 1997 should have arbs fitted?

   I was thinking that, but god knows if that also applies abroad and he's in Iceland.
   
   I had an early 96 car that didn't have one.

   Can confirm the cross members are all the same on drum axles.
