UKPassats

Thanks mate

The rear setup consists of a twin bellow stand alone bag. I am currently using my FK rear shocks but we are working on an additional rear shock solution.

Thanks guys!

Its good to know the little touches are beign picked up on

Thanks again guys!

Hey guys, just thought id update this.

The car is now fully on air. We have been developing an Airlift rear bag setup as mentioned, and is the first Passat in the UK to be running their new front struts. The struts are fantastic!

Hi guys

Just thought i would post a small update. Attended the High Peaks Low Dubs show last weekend, and had a fantastic time! The car went down really well and it's been great to get some feedback from customers too. :D

Another quick pic I took outside my unit, it was the first proper sunny day the cars had!



Matt

Thanks for all the feedback guys, its really appreciated and has made the 6 months of insane work worthwhile!!

I can see everyone's point on the wheels, as yes they are a little tame maybe for the overall effect, but I couldn't afford anything fancy right now, but it had to be 20's for me to really ...

Thanks guys! The feedback is massively appreciated.

It's been a lot of hard work this time round, but it's all been worth it.

regarding the rims....this has been and always has been a project done on a budget. These Q7 wheels came up for a frankly bonkers cheap price and I couldnt turn them away ...

Hi guys!

Well, it used to look like this as you may or may not remember:

Lol the 2 tone has always been a marmite thing, but I quite like the split opinions it birngs, some absoluetly love it, but then some absolutely detest it

Im looking to make maybe change a few things over the winter, but as to what it will be, I have no idea, or I may leave it as it is

I have indeed been looking at air recently, as it does appears that is going to be the only option for getting the stance i want and remaining a daily hackable car.

Ive been doing a fair bit of research into different options.

VW Festival was a great show this year I thought

Thanks mate :D

Havent had much time t get on the forums recently due to being really busiy with our premises relocation etc etc, but I am hoping things have started to calm down a bit more and will allow me more leisure time.

Didnt get to go to any shows bar two this year! (im going to miss ...

Thanks guys, I am well chuffed with them! The bolt nuts were replaced, but all 160 of the bolts themselves were all hand polished :-bd

Biggest problem i have now is I want it lower, but the coils are on their limits for where I live and the fact its my daily :((

Ill sort out my wheel build pics ...

Hi Guys, long time no postage!

Just thought id post these up, as i recently sourced one of my all time fave sets of rims and had to have them!

They are genuine 3 piece ETA Beta Splits - 8's and 9.5's x 18's. They were in pretty shoddy nick when I got them, but after a full rebuild they are looking ...

I know exactly where you're coming from mate, hence why posts on edition are under 10 i think, lol!

These days, it seems unless you're running BBS wheels you don't fit in

lol! You never know! I may be needing a car for a detailing workshop, although on half the car would get done

Welcome along Sam!

Glad to see you signed up!

Im glad you're thinking along the lines of a Passat ;)

Funny you should say that mate, we are planning a meet at mine for the 10th May, ill post up the details in the meets section when its finalised.

Im also starting detailing workshops on weekends, where we will be showing people corrective techniques with both dual action and rotary polishers, which ...

Hi, yeah that wagon is mine, and the Bora is my other half's which was built over the winter.

Thanks very much for the feedback mate! Check out members motors for more pics, my recent thread is in there somewhere, lol

As for the meet in Lincoln, there was a weird vibe going on that day, nobody was ...

Couple more pics









All for now ;)

B3 TYP - Pop some of your pics over mate, I always love to have a browse! Im gutted because my dad was in the 15th Ind Paras in the 50's (dispanded into a division of the SAS), but has not a SINGLE picture! Id love to have a ganders at yours mate.

Dakota - Its weird when I look at my original guise ...

Interestingly mate, most feel the same. When I first painted it, lots were a little unsure due to the massive change, but the more they have seen it, the more they have come to like it, lol.

Thanks so much mate, its feedback like that that makes me so pleased I took the plunge with it! Like I said, ive tried to tell a bit of a story with it, honouring as many through the ages as I could fit in, lol!

I have truly spent the hours on it, and if it wasnt for the help of my close friend Rick, it wouldnt have got finished. It was done by working after hours on weekdays and weekends, 7 days a week. I didnt get home before 2am for the last 6 months. Our mission was to get 3 cars built for UD, and we ...
