Re: Jay's B3 Wagon... aka Dirty Gerty

Just a brief update... How she looked at last year's VW festival at Harewood House (I'll stick up some more recent ones soon, honest!) https://scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/1185904_10153151781520008_1549892888_n.jpg?oh=e9dd9428e2ad43d8ea2135428775bad5&oe=54D46DC0 https://scon...

Red B3 Wagon in Leicestershire

Spotted a nice low red B3 Wagon heading south on the Lutterworth road t'other day, nice to see another decent Passat doing the rounds.
Just be careful around me or I'll be pilfering your tailgate... :hyst

Looking smart as always mate.

Where were you hiding at the VW festival? Though tbh the weather was horrific for quite a bit last year so I wasn't mingling much.

Re: Jay's B3 Wagon... aka Dirty Gerty (now slammed)

Howdo all, just a quick update as I have a few bits of news. Doorcards are done but I only seem to have pics of the process so here's a sneak peak: https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/s720x720/166053_10151764405900008_876362212_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-...

Re: New engine time (possibly)

I think you're right about the clearance not being an issue, the only problems I'm thinking of could be things like exhaust downpipe length and other things that may be slightly out. I'd prefer to find a 2E from a passat but there just don't seem to be any about at the moment. Been speaking to a cou...

Re: New engine time (possibly)

Aye I've been keeping an eye out for a 2E motor but so far no luck (though I've only been looking for about a day).

I'll have to keep looking for now. Though I am a bit worried about the extra length of the 2E causing problems with mountings etc, any idea whether they'll still be an issue?

New engine time (possibly)

Looks like my PB 1.8 is on it's way out (knackered piston rings) and as such I'd best start mooching about for a new bottom end. Has anyone tried the 2.0l bottom from a 2E motor into a passat? I know it's longer I'm just wondering if it was worth bothering or should I just stick to getting another d...

Only pic I've got of her at the moment as it was a bit too dark by the time I got there... Looks pretty good though if I do say so myself.

Re: Jay's B3 Wagon... aka Dirty Gerty (dropped low)

She's in at a mate's garage for today getting the thermostat and aux belt sorted, made sense to get the coilies slapped on whilst she's in there though.

Re: I need a friendly MOTer in the East Midlands

Cambridge road garage in Cosby might be worth a look too. A good mate works there (it's his dad's place) and he's thoroughly into his dubs (has an R32, a slammed air cooled beetle and a bay window camper).

Have a word with them on the phone, they won't mess you about and are very fair on everything.

Re: Any Motorbike riders here?

Whatever you do, do not ride that GS500 in winter, they really are not keen on salt/water. I had one as a courtesy bike when I had an off in 2006. It was 6 months old with 1500 miles on it and most of the alloy had started corroding, also had rust around the filler cap. My current ride as she stands...

I'll give it a go when I do the fronts over the next few weeks.
