Re: Passat B1/B2 Treffen (Meet) Netherlands 2015

Wow, so very cool! I love it, B1s and B2s arama! We can barely get more than two B1s together, and B2s are as rare as leprechauns in Australia.

Re: B2 bumper chrome trim

Have you tried Chinese Ebay/similar? Being that China made so many B2s for so long, you might find some stock there.

Re: New B2 owner

Hey well done, it sounds good so far! Could be the clutch issues date back to your finding the right flywheel to make it work, might need that UR flywheel instead? The joys of adaptation, I know it well. We have to customise so many things to make old Dubs work in Australia.

Look at it this way, now you've got a solid, new exhaust. Don't have to worry about that for a few years :)

Keep it, there's hardly any demand for them and you won't get much. If you love it, drive it.
