Me too.I have a link somewhere to a set that I like. Will look for the link

Try this site . They call the b1 passat a vw dasher. Venom motorsport used to sell H&R springs for the B1. They appear to have stopped. They maybe able to confirm part numbers for you though.

Do H&R not do a spring set for the B1?

So many other things to repair, replace or refurbish now on the car before it gets used later in 2017

Paint on the shell. Home soon

The driver side rear arch is looking much better now.
Progress is ongoing and the car is looking much fresher



Will keep adding more pictures over the coming weeks

I saw this car a few years ago when I met you. Looked in good shape back then. Sounds like its just sat since then. GLWS

Easily done. Passat s have been around for so long

Wrong section for this?

Not many around like this.

Not mine, but haven't seen one of these come up for sale. Might be of interest to someone on here

Some good work going on here. Nice to see another B2 getting some attention. Keep the updates coming

I also saw the one on Vortex. I think there is a fair bit of work involved and ideally you'd need a B3 passat VR6 donar car and they are getting scarce now. Most around are well kept and its difficult to justify killing it off. The much more common mk3 golf VR6 has the engine and gearbox sitting mor...

I think that a lot of B2 owners would get a surprise if they stripped out all the plastic in the boot areas. When its in place you can see nothing. I'm glad that I've caught the rust issue just now as it lets me get it dealt with. The bodyshop are experts in fabrication etc, who usually work on 50 y...

Progress Update Upon stripping the car there were a few additional repairs needed. Namely a small bit of rot at the bottom of the windscreen that was hidden when the screen was in. The screen had never been removed so it wasn't as if this had happened due to poor fitment of replacement some years ag...

The Passat was used in 2015 alongside the other cars. http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa328/SMcNairn/Passat%20B2/DSC_0278_zpsnpmzlwvp.jpg Its now away for some loving. Its surprising how different the car looks once stripped http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa328/SMcNairn/Passat%20B2/DSC_0292...

Agreed, nothing to compare the car to. It's not often they come up for sale.

Hi, I plan to be at Cumbriavag, but probably in my Mk2 golf as the B2 won't be back from the body shop. Doubt I'll miss you as I have only ever seen 1 other B2 at that show over the years

Progress at last. Car had the final difficult screws removed, sunroof out, headliner out, roof bars off etc. It was driven onto the trailer and delivered to the body shop on Wednesday. Not planning on having it ready for the road in 2016. It will get built back up at the end of the year ready for ta...

Update The car is now almost fully stripped. The windows were taken out yesterday. Lost of things to remove are :- Sunroof and headliner Roof bars Last couple of interior plastic trims to allow carpet out Odds and ends Looking to trailor the car to the bodyshop later this week or next depending upon...

What are the window seals like on your car? Most go brittle and shrink. I've just received new ones from VW classic parts and they respite on. Soft and rubbery like they should be and should save the door bottoms from rusting out. They are about 26 euros each from Germany.

Will pm you later tonight. Sure I can help.

Agree about the coilovers. I notice that the door bump strips are now gone. Was this through choice or could they not be refitted after the paint?

No driver side headlight with this breaker. Will keep a look out for any other I see though
