I didnt want this to escalate into a race issue as there are good and bad people everywhere. It was just a heads up in case this happens to another member.

I ended up selling the car to my Polish workmate and friend for a bit less and he has got it sorted.

Just a heads up in case nobody is aware of this scam by buyers if you are selling your car. For convenience I listed my B6 VW Passat TDi Sport Estate with on Gumtree looking for a quick local sale. Within minutes I had a call from a hard to understand gent who was keen to view ASAP and was about 140...

VW Audispares in Angmering did break a 1977 LHD coupe a while back. Might be worth a call to see if he still has the dash. Other than that if it has the usual two massive cracks in the middle then cover with furry fabric :D Get the pics up man and don't forget to like my facebook page: https://www.f...

All window rubbers appear to be obsolete. There are companies in the uk that can make them if you them a cross section of your old one. I cant be sure but something I saw on the net said they were about £400! I could do with a full set so I can do a windows out repaint in the future. Another avenue...

I have a set of struts already converted for a B2. They were bought ready made from a fella that never used them on his car. I thought they would fit my B1 and they do, kind of. My mate made them fit by chopping a few inches out of my steering rods but the ackerman angle is all wrong. They are comin...

Meh, mines not as low but I am pretty sure I did it first.

This looks like it could make a superb car: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330900961038? ... 363wt_1170

Ah yes that must be my old B2 as the guy in Wales did some random extra wiring. He wired the choke warning as he was concerned over it running rich for too long and wearing the bores!

What plans do you have for the car?

Looking good mate, glad my old wheels went to a good home! They were on this: http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy242/DazmeisterUK/33D08978-7813-4B63-9DE0-FA46DF9B41D2-1546-000003EB2984A155.jpg But have now upgraded to this which already has those wheels: http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy242/Da...

Several people have commited to buy this car and then just not bothered to come along and collect it. Very strange! So, I have now listed it on ebay with 99p starting price... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140897275104&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:GB:1123 Sent you a PM on vz...

Would love the interior for mine

I might have some grill trims for you though.

Yep I lurk on here a bit and I was the fella you bought it from. I think it will look good on those rims once you hit it with the stick.

Looking forward to more updates.

My AFN Passat has seemed a bit flat lately so when I was in GSF I enquired about a new MAF. They said a Bosch one was £65+vat so might be worth going to your local branch. I think they want your old one back as there was a £25 surcharge.

Hi, i've just signed up to this website. I recently replaced my Mk2 Jetta with a 1985 Santan LX According to how many left, there are only 7 left registered on UK roads. Hoping to find some of those here. Anyway, heres mine http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r158/yoyoninjaboy87/102_0781.jpg http://...

Nice info, will give mine a wiggle to see if they are loose.

I normally bodge using some rubber fuel hose behind the threads

Cool, the turd will finally be shown some love! If your having trouble polishing it, just roll in glitter :hyst Anyway the indicator I had was for a B2. I have seen quite a few facelift wings on eBay recently at around the £40 mark. Or try phoning http://www.oldpanels.com/ as I seem to remember the...

I think I may have a nos pair of these but they are not with me at the moment. Will have a look tomorrow and get back to you. I cant help with the other bit unless you post a pic, if its the same as a pre-facelift you could try vwaudispares in Angmering who is breaking a 77 B1.

I am a Seiko fan so if you cant afford a new one then go for a used example. My current watch is a Sportura Titanium which is about 12 years old and still looks stylish. http://seiko-divers.info/scwf/images/com/network54/7c/0f/b8/21/982a237fed64b1ecb73afc06.jpg Cost me £5 a couple of years ago at a...

I have used K-Seal with good results in the past but have never heard of Steel Seal.

They were available from Hadrian a couple of years ago as we had to use the 4 door ones for my coupe. They were listed online and one of the only things that you could still get but looks like the site has had a re-vamp as I cant find any early stuff. Failing that try Star Panels or www.oldpanels.co...

Nice to see it back in safe hands, sent you a PM about interior.

Also that B1 at VW Audi Spares has no original trim left on it.

Quick sneak pic of mine as of yesterday for this years look:

Funnily enough I have just fitted an eBay MK5 Golf style one to my B5 estate today as the original had poor reception. Reception is even worse now with this fitted but it does look good!

In the UK we just dont have the weather to run a B1 everyday. As you know they love to rust so gritted salt roads in the winter will kill mine. It also has a leak into the interior when it rains so I stick with the TDi B5 most of the time.

I think the struts are still on this but dont expect a bargain price.

Also with a bit of inginuity I have heard that Polo 6N hubs/struts will fit.

I messaged Andy about it and he said he had decided to keep it but who knows these MK1 Coupes are like evil mistresses!

If anyone buys it I have a good passenger seat base cover and complete recliner part.
