Yes me too!
In fact, given half a chance I would buy this B5.5 petrol 1.8T estate as well.
I've had a 150bhp B5 saloon in the past and I really miss it!!

Great work!
Which of the two is your favourite ride the Audi or Passat and for what reasons?

Re: Making saloon rear door panels fit Estate rear doors...
Good job!
The material around my door handles on my 2002 b5.5 sport is sagging - can you replace the handle and material part of the door with leather, or do you have to replace the whole door?
Can I just swap this part out?

Re: B5.5 Sport - Seats uncomfortable -Suggestions?
Fitted the two front seats today. Super comfy now.
Found 21p when they were removed which was a nice bonus!
The old girl is going in for new rear calipers/brakes plus a service on Friday.
I'm determined to get up to 300K!
