Brazilian Passat B1 "Pointer" 1988 - Restauration

09-04-2016, 11:01 PM

Hello everyone.

Here's my "Passat Pointer" (b1), manufactured here in Brazil in 1988 (the last b1 model which left the Assembly line). It's a sports model, has 1.8 engine and five-speed box. At the time of its production, was a car greatly desired by sports lovers.
Nowadays it is a classic.

I'll get the complete restoration service. My intention is to leave the car as brand new, as VW did. I'm at the stage of buying spare parts.

I hope you enjoy!

That's a lot of stuff. How hard is it finding parts in Brazil?

In Australia we have to source from overseas and it can get expensive.

It's getting harder and harder to find parts for the B1. The pieces are getting rare and so expensive. It is a work of much research.

For example, the badges "Passat" and "VW" I bought in Germany, by e-bay.
