Hey up our kid !

Bloody door handle snapped inside today so i hope you've still got your old passat rear handles ?
Also after a good look underneath i have sussed the rear crashing over bumps is a leaking ( leaked ) shocker and the rear bushes looked pretty fooked as far as i can see, that looks a nice job !

Will bell you tonight

Thought I should update as to why my car is wearing 3 of my repainted rims....this is what I noticed when the wheel was off!!


luckily the tyres off my old passat are the same size and in better condition..so a trip to a tyre shop this weekend should see me safe again!

but on good news this package arrived today....

Only a small update

I have being playing with the back end a bit! half smoked tail lights and some play around with 2 sets of passat letters have made this


and after a very good clean inside I have got some proper fitting mats (£13 from the bay)


still to do a.s.a.p........... n/s drive shaft as it clicks on full lock, the rest of the front suspension bushes, rear brake discs and pads (from my old b5) and swap some tyres over (again from my old b5) and later will be lowering time!!

I have refitted the o.e grille and removed the swan neck from the towbar.
My brother has being staying for the last week and today bought a Corrado VR6 so It would be a waste not taking some photo's





(The sun made the photo's difficult to take!!  :( )

Next week means new oil pump and top links time!! Hopefully no oil light or knocking?

loving the vr6 corrado!!! try cleaning the oil pump out as mine was doing the same (no oil getting to the top when the oil has settled down.mad4vws cleaned it out and its all good!!!

BTW does the spoiler come up on the vr6??  :cool:

well I failed at window tinting so I am looking for blinds instead!!

and today I finished a full polish, lots of wax and a seal which has given me chance to get some better pictures






Project PSSSST 1.8T is well underway..... :hyst
