UKPassats

Could be a busy weekend all being well,

Coilovers should be here on friday!!!

And booked my Passat and my Dad's 320D Touring in at Tinted Vision for some tints Saturday morning - (well it would be rude not to - being only 5 miles away)

Things are coming together......

x2 - I'm really pleased with mine.

Thaks for that, will get some ordered....

Being a bit of a weirdo, I agree with these statements, When I was 21 or so, the norm was Corsa sport, Saxo VTR, 106's etc, the usual stuff... So I needed something different.... Now don't laugh...... Got myself a very clean, and cheap, 1798 Triumph Dolomite Sprint, finished in a colour that could o...

A few more shots before it got dark...... Went out to give it a quick wash........ Frozen hosepipe!! :shock: Much of the same really....... http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m630/s3dxm/IMG_0247.jpg http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m630/s3dxm/IMG_0248.jpg http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m630...

Did you manage to reduce dashboard noises? As someone above said in this area you marked are clips holding the dash down. I have used a good strong tape around them and on them to make it quiet. I have also glued window sealing tape where the dash touches the windscreen. All the noises disappeared....

Is this for anyone and anything?

Any specific theme?

Spent a long day today getting it clean and fitting new hoops...... :mrgreen: Pics are a bit poor as it started to get dark...... Desperate now for my coilovers to arrive..... My landrover seems to have less ground clearance..... Did a quick headlight resto at the same time also..... http://i1135.ph...

Have emailed you some pics.

hallo ! i've used your pic to ask something...in that area , under the dash, i have some irritating noises...like metal on metal, fan...i don't know...what is that in the pic where i draw a sign ? i took the side dash part off but nothing... if i press the dash near the windscreen vent the noise st...

I would probably do a 'how not to do'........ I'll get some more pics when putting the single din dash back into the other passat.... Was pleased with: 1- the lack of damage, 2- amount of swearing (lots) 3 - Number of cuts, scratches and bleeding...... 4- Everything fits and works. 5- the number of ...

Well, I got my Passat back today and took my dad to collect his 320d after a nice £1200 engine rebuild...... :shock: Opened the doors and holy moly...... this thing needs a clean (thanks dad....)... :shock: Cleaning will come on Saturday, thought i'd put in the radio I had waiting in the parts depa...

A few years ago (and when I was young, silly and had some money.....) I built this beast and did some winch challenge events.... Then ran out of money..... over £500 in a weekend to smash up your car and get covered in mud soon began to wear off...... :neutral: http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m...

This is my mate's Triumph I restored and gave a new lease of life. Polished swing arm, wheels, and loads of other little bits n bobs.... Gave it a new paint job and these are the results..... The polishing will take quite a bit of time though.... :( http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m630/s3dxm/IMG...

I can try get some photo's up of what i've used,

and methods how it's been done....

I'm happy with the results, but if you were paying top doller you would probably get a better job......

But i'm from Yorkshire and tighter than a nuns C U Next Tuesday.....

Bikes are in my blood , they also cost me some blood .... Mine below taken opposite Falmouth on the 6th October after a ground up rebuild last winter .... http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt252/toddmessenger/IMG_0982.jpg Same bike 2 days later .... I got a free Helicopter ride ! http://i617.photo...

I polished mine myself......

Shame you are so far away, otherwise i'd offer to help, (unless you don't mind a trip to York)....

The wagon looks great with wheels on! Could you tell me what tyre sizes you have on em please? I have same rims and am havin in a mare deciding what size tyres to get.cheers :D Tyres are 235 35 19 Car not lowered yet, was just a trial fit... Also need some 8mm spacers all round for a better look......

Yes it was,

Won the bid at £900,

Turned up and screen was cracked and climatronic not working...

So a deal done at £800

Fitted a fuse and climatronic now working!

Just a screen to fiddle on insurance from my silver passat....

Good job a good friend works for national windscreens.

Hmmm, Need to decide which to keep now, both have their good points..... I'll start with the blue one Good Bits: Colour.... Interior.... ....er..... ....hmmmm.... 'Bad bits' 150,000 smiles. No tax or test. Few battle scars on the body. Silver one...... Colour? Full leather New Clutch 2 x New down pi...

That's a little project car so I can have my 'Passat Fix'......

I have nothing to tinker with at moment.....

It will be going as soon as I get my hands back on my silver bus......

Nothing to update apart from how dirty this thing is and the lack of 'care' my dad is giving it whilst he needs it for work due to his 320d going bang and having an engine rebuild.... Needs a bloomin good valet.... :sad: Should be back home with me in next week all being well..... http://i1135.photo...

Trial fitting of wheels.... And deciding what spacers needed..... http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m630/s3dxm/IMG_0201.jpg http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m630/s3dxm/IMG_0202.jpg http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m630/s3dxm/IMG_0203.jpg http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m630/s3dxm/IMG_020...

I need to get this and my silver V6 4Motion side by side and make the best from the 2 and keep one of them..... It seems that lending my dad the silver car (after his 320d went bang and made a right old mess of the top end) has not been my best move. He's had it for 8 weeks or so, and reluctant to h...

Another to add to the collection to play with..... (and i just like the sound of the V6) Needs a screen, A Bloomin good wash!!! :shock: No T or T Thought it would keep me busy for a while.....
