Welcome 16vpolo, any pics of the new purchase?? If you can weld then you can pretty much put any seats you want in

Eh, no; way back when the NCT (Mot equivelent) came out here (about 8 or 10 years ago, maybe more...) it failed on balljoints and got laid up soon after; it had rust issues on the usual rear quarter/inner arches and the areas rear of the rear wheels were rusted through, and it was rank and filled wi...

Hvent gone near this yet with a spanner/bucket/hoover etc but today I have exchanged more cash for the 'rights to' stripp an 85 'smaller bumpered model' for bits, before it gets scrapped early next week; baggsed the bumpers and headlights today, and tomorrow Im back for more bits... :roll: i'll try ...

Cheers marydoll, NCT is a bit of a 'grey area' with vehicles over 21 years of age Ive been told by a mate (who was told this by a gard)... Its 99% rust free (small bit on front passenger side pillar (inside); even the rear pillar and boot floor are solid... Can you help with any of the 'bits needed'...

Im wondering if the headlamps on the B2's and 'inner' lamps are the same as Sirocco ones??? They certainly look the same... can anyone say for certain, before I spend my money on them?????

Hello from Republic of Ireland! I got myself a rather shook B2 Passat recently (see b1/b2 'old school passat' section), its a 'hatchback' 1.6D thats in need of some (ahem) fettling... anyhow I just copped the 'welcomes and newbies' so thought I'd say hello to Passat owners of all shapes and sizes an...

Thanks Mk2Passat, now i can check if the the trailer is going to be long enough .. Ive been lurking on this site for awhile; a friend has a B3 that he 'put out to pasture' about 18months ago, so he asked me to do some work for the NCT; it needed top shocks mounts, balljoints, track rod ends, Cv's et...

I live in Southern Ireland and I also own a 77 VW Bus, a 91 Vw Caddy 1.9TD and a boring 96 nissan almera 1.4... The plan was to take the useful bits (big rad, olde ...
