Re: My b3 saloon

Decided to pull the clocks out and try and fix the fuel gauge. As the fella I bought it off said it's been broke for like 5 years and he just used to fill it up and go by the odometer. Lol. So after hearing on here about dry solder joint I found some and soldered them up http://i1277.photobucket.com...

I've heard mk2/3 suspension fits a b3 passat. And I've been offered a set of spax 40mm springs out of a mk2 gti. Anyone any pics of how low it will look on the b3. Cheers
