Hello from Ireland

Hello all
I've been lurking on here while so I thought I'd better introduce myself.
I bought my first Passat in December of last year, 2000 1.6 Estate.
Its a bit scruffy and needs a few little jobs some of which I've already completed.
First was the interior
The drivers seat in my was in bits with a huge rip in it plus one of the adjusting leavers had broken and it was kinda stuck in the one position.
Picked up some freebie seats for the Passat. The rear seats had old engine oil spilled on them after the previous owner removed them his Passat, hence he gave away the 2 seats for nothing 8-)
Tools needed: 10mm socket, Needle-nose pliers, cup of coffee and a smoke.
Took about an hour and 30 including hoovering, carpet & dash cleaning etc, etc. I was expecting an Airbag light to come on, but thankfully not. Unbelievable Tekkers.
New seats,
Old ones out, as you can see it fairly nasty, but its an excellent chance to give it a really good clean as you can get places that are usually inaccessible.
Done, seats are still wet in this pic
Next up lowering!!!!
