Put a deposit down on another Passat estate 😅 3 owners all in the same family. Grandad bought it new and passed to his son who dailied it for 20+ years. He then gave it to his daughter before he passed away. Just over 100k miles on the clock. I can’t wait to collect this and get it on the road! 🤩 Should I keep it standard or lower it on nice wide steelies?

It'd be rude not to lower it on wide steelies, Great thread and cars, Nigel

Got it back to the unit on Sunday and managed to get it running! Swapped some better wheels/tyres on and I even drove it to the mot station Sunday evening too It failed 😞 😂 needs some brake/fuel pipes and a bit of welding!

So the new old Passat has passed its mot and it’s now home! Potentially the last compulsory mot as its now 40 years since it was first registered! First job was to sort the split carb flange and fit a series 1 mk1 golf GTi steeringwheel I had lying around in the unit. I love these wheels. Makes every old vw I’ve got feel much nicer to drive. Also swapped the dead bootlid struts to nice new ones so the bootlid doesn’t whack me on the back of the head anymore! 🤕😂 I’ve also removed the roof rack. It’s a really nice old Thule one but it was noisy when driving and there was loads of moss build up when it was mounted so I wanted to get rid of that. So that’s stashed away safe in the unit now 🙂 I can’t wait to get this thing really low and sat on some nice wheels! Also found this super cool retro accessory in one of the cubby holes in the boot! Love it 😎💕 n

Been dailying the new Passat for a while now and it’s a lovely old thing. Very solid feeing and now that I e done some servicing on it, everything works perfectly. Custom coilovers are paid for and have been made. They’re on their way now so next step is to get it nice and low and pop some nice wheels on it. Here’s a couple of pics from my mates place and a local car meet. I’ve put hubcaps on it now too and it looks loads better. It’s currently away getting its cam belt done and a couple other oil leak issues sorted. Can’t wait to get it back! Good little car 🥰
