The hearse

Post by Martian »

Well finally decided to do a progress thread on my wagen.
It's a 51 Reg B5.5 Passat esate "Sport" 20 VTurbo. Usual sport cloth trim inside etc.

This is how i found her the day i picked her up, in her fuly decked glory
Image

got her home without any issues...but couldnt get her on the drive so on the road parking it was :
Image

Bardge patrol
Image


And then it was time to fix her
New track rod end fitted...and this made me laugh
Image

After several months of beeing batterd and thrown around by the cheap nasty and broken TA Technix coilovers i fitted some FK AK'S courtesy of venom motorsport :)

This is how she sat after the new coilovers
Image

And here she is at VW Alltypes
Image

Buried in the grass :)
Image


She then stayed the same for a while until one day i decided it was time for a colour change for the wheels and i got this

Image

I dont know why i did it...i was bored :/

And here she is beeing a family car when me and the gf went camping
Image

Then more expense. Window meh failure left me like this over xmas and new year
Image

So replaced that with a genuine VW window regulator etc...cost a fortune.

Then i had a full suspension refurb. All control arms replaced and track rods done along with a few other bits re-done

And this is how she was after that on the a684 (or something) on a recent trip to Kendal
Image

Few more weeks went past and another purchase was made in the form of these

Genuine Merc 17" Hoops 7.5j with caps
Image

They sat in the garage for a week or so untill thismorning when this happend
Image

And i had a text of a mate dinnertime showing the before and after
Image

So just waiting for those to be finished.
I wanted them polished but going to get them sprayed a shiney silver instead :)

Orderd a few cheeky US Spec bits lastnight but they are staying a secret for now ;)
