B1 or B2 ?

B1 73-76 front and rear seats for sale.

£150 ONO

Most parts available. Pm me if you need anything

Think I Need to test this bloke with 1 part first. Then we can get a list together and throw him a drink

How did this go? Still working on it mate. Proving to be long and drawn out. Got the website but the middle man is being long ( http://www.mercadolivre.com.br/ ) The front panel for my B1 equates to £47. I just need this dude to buy it and ship to me. I've even sourced a Portuguese bloke who speak...

Andy,

If all goes well with a connection I've established in Brazil, you will be able to get all your bits brand new and shipped direct dude.

My Brazilian friend has sourced all the parts I need. Just need to talk money and shipping I'll let everyone know how the experience goes.

Hit me with some enquiries, hopefully these people come up with the goods.

That paint work looks mint what did you do just orbital mop and polish All she needed was a good wash mate. Was dry stored for 15 years. I had the engine stripped down to the bare block and replaced everything. Even cleared out all water channels in head and block (aluminium deposits from coolant f...

Probably one of the biggest Vw shows in Europe. Happens every 2 years in Chimay Belgium. Punch European Bugin into Google. What a show!!!!

Just wondering who's going to European Bugin 2017?

So far as passats are concerned I got my 75' B1 and my old 83 B2 going. Maybe followed up by my step dads 51' RHD Split Oval.

Last ditched attempt at finding a b1 front panel for my 75'. I nothing turns up I'll have to have a custom one made.

I just got £1500 for my 83 with a full 12 month ticket. I was the second owner and it had 144k on the clock but just had total mechanical overhaul. Also needed a little bodywork. http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/b628/dannytheduck1985/3F43DD38-826F-4E77-9680-51CE1F3FE5F8_zps3g5n71cx.jpg http://i1...

Think this is what your looking for

Now she's Mot'd and fully operational I ask 1 question.

Do I just tidy her up and drive with patina or Put it in the bodyshop when the B1 lands and make her mint?

Brought it

May of brought a B1 lol, in talks

almost nothing without an mot but with an mot at least 500 up to 1000. 1500 for a really tidy one with low miles Wow not much then considering there's only 5 1.8 1983's registered with the dvla and all are SORN. Think I should find and buy them!!!. I've been offered double that pmsl. I'll stick a p...

Of course, well-kept condition is most important... - and the number of people who are willing to pay more if a VW is stock condition and not "slammed" is said to be increasing as well. I'm tempted to keep this totally stock to be fair. Belguims a long way to take a slammed car. Anyone go...

Since buying my B2 I have been wrapped up in fulfilling my objective of getting her on road. Now with only a sub frame bush to change for MOT, I was wondering....... What's she worth? She's an 83' CL Hatch with 143k on the clock. The original engine has just been totally rebuilt, including replacing...

Good stuff, another b2 appreciator. Have you looked into how you are going to lower it? Just springs or are you going to cut out that section of the upright and weld back together? I'm planning on lowering my b2 and I don't think springs alone will cut it. At the minute I'm putting my efforts into ...
