Ace pics! I really like that Passat rear end, so many sweet sharp edges!

I just love that TS - period.. Hey huss, did you lower the TS, or was it lowered when you bought it? if it was you, what did you use to get it lower? Angle grinder? I could not find anything to use on mine....

[huss]

I gotta say the TS does look better in real life and goes hard for little 1.6L (My suggestion to all passat owners get extractors and a bigger carby, it'll pay off), cant wait till I find a 1.8L to stick in that.

As for the suspension I got it like that when I got the car, But all it is are just heavy duty shortened springs (makes for a stiff ride, but handles like its on rails) Any local spring manufacturer can create them, Just take your originals in and say what you want and they should be able to create, but it comes at a cost However you could always try with an angle grinder

Good Work, you have to bring the TS out to the Day of the Volkswagen, i just got my pamphlet in the mail today,

glad i saved that boot lid for you... and that your doing something with it!

is the LS going to be when you have kids and the TS a weekend car?

[huss]

Day of the Volkswagen hay, well sign me up, was thinking of going but not sure if you guys would be there, but I guess I'll head down now. Hope too see you and the boys there.

Would love to bring the LS down there, but needs a tune up and my mechanical capabilities and knowledge as well as my "tune up" specific tools are VERY VERY limited. hint hint...

[Nick_80]

haha good work, i think ya still owe us a beer or 2 for that boot lid sounds good, we'll be good to see you there!

[DaveGLD]

Hey all, just thought I'd mention that I was out at upullit Elizabeth today and there is an orange/red B1 Passat Wagon there that has just hit the yard - still 99% complete. Good if you need parts or panels - it actually looked pretty nice - was kind of a shame to see it there

[Nick_80]

also a blue 4 door sedan down at the lonsdale u-pull it, good shape, few good pannels, lights, few decent windows aswell, it would of been worth saving, but the interior is shot

Blue one? havnt seen many blue ones kicking about. There was a mustard colour wagon B1 on the side of the road with no plates here in tassie. I was very tempted but lacked the room or the time for another project
