Thanks for the offer but I don't really want an auto & Id prefer to stick with a unmodded car (well maybe lowered a bit) as I know what (to a certain extent) what I'm getting.
No offense to you but Ive been down the route of buying "done" cars & found that I end up doing as much work as if Id started from scratch.
I spent a fortune on a '56 vw split screen bus that wanted minimal work & ended up skint & had to sell it.
If it'd been OG & manual I might have been interested.
Still interested in seeing how it turns out though.
Good luck, keep us updated.

And it will be built to my high exacting standards as if I was going to drive it myself. I don't see the point in cutting corners- I won't get any enjoyment from the job that way  Hopefully I'll get the exhaust finished tomorrow for an update |

It is 2,0 GT model and in fairly good shape. These cars are very nice to drive with 5-pot engine. I have to sell it because i bought another car and one of them has to go says my wife  |

Well, 32b Passat prices start from zero to 1500€ if it is in very good shape and with extras. Almoust every Passat (and other models also) in Finland are basic models. My car is imported from Germany in -92 and i think GT was not available in Finland at all. My car looks good in pictures but rust is eating doors etc... Your car looks nice too, like the old model-look in front. |

keep the updates coming need a side on view too to see how low it is At the moment about stock- not low enough.   I will lower it when Its closer to finished, its easier to work on with the higher suspension. Can get jacks and ramps under it Updates in due time eksu- That is a wonderful example! I would love to own that! Shame you have to sell it but at least some one is going to be very happy with it! |
