Allot of pics of both my B1 passats

[huss]

OK guys and girls here we go, one all original Passat LS 1974 all original just sitting out in the weather waiting for somebody to show it some love. And then we got the Passat TS 1975 which is a one in a kind passat in my opinion, but ill let you be the judge of that.

Ok so first up is the white passat, the LS. This has been in the family for over 20 years and has retired for the past 10 years. It was running and driving around about a year ago, but then i slacked off on starting it up and now it doesnt want to start and the brakes are seized. (Nothing a lil bit of Start Ya Bastard cant fix). OK so here are some pics of the white passat LS could only take a few, cause the weather started to turn on me and the car has been turned into a storage facility, so taking pics of the interior would just mean you would just see allot of blankets and cardboard.










Ok now onto the the TS. This is my favorite, hradly see any 2 door passat B1, hardly see any B1 passats as a matter of fact.

Any body got a 2 lt engine and turbo kit and a 5 speed gear box i could use for the TS???

[Jarred]

Nice!

the TS is a real looker, love the interior of them! dash and steering wheel are just too cool.

what suspension have you got in it?

what suspension have you got in it?

To be honest, I bought the TS as is and im not sure what the suspension is.

looking sweet mate

do a 1.8t swap out of a B5 (?) Passat or a B5 A4. They are North South config!

Very nice Passats! The TS looks great. The 2 door ones are very rare! The interior is a retrim? It matches very nicely. Looks very professional too.

Your easiest gearbox conversion will be from a Audi 80 B2. I think the floorpan needs modification for this. You may like to check out some threads on 5 speed conversion on the "Dasher Owners Group" D.O.G. "Dasher" is what the Passat was called in the USA.

I have a Audi 80 Fox. Some other members may have seen it around

I love the TS. Looks really well presented. That's a lucky find I reckon.

The Fox looks great too!

I'd happily drive either of these three cars any day.

Thanks for the info AlexV11, and thats a nice original Audi Foxx. And yes the interior is a retrim.

I think you are right IH8, it was a really lucky find. The pictures give the car no justice what so ever. I dont like to brag, but when you get up close and personnal with the TS and give it a run up in the windy tiny streets in the adelaide hills (since teh car was built for hill climbs), and you go around corners at 70km/h and it recommends 40km/h and all thats between yourself and a 100M drop into the gum trees is a little peice of sheet metal, and the car does not slide or give 1 inch and it feels as if it is on railway tracks, and the gutsy little engine is whizzing about, you find that you would not trade it for the world. Unless of course the world included more of these ahahah.

But the car was on carsales for about 6 months if not longer so anybody could have picked it up for a fair price. I guess it was just wating for me.

[AlexV11]

Yes, the handling is excellent on these. The poise of the chassis is very solid. For a car without power steering, its so light and nimble. I had the Bilstein B6 dampers fitted and that was well worth it! Control without being too harsh.
I can't recall if the 2 door version was fully imported or locally assembled. B1's were assembled at the VW Clayton factory. Full importation came in 77.

It looks like the previous owner installed extractors for the exhaust? That would be sweet!

B1's do grow on you...and being VAG its just so swappable. Alot of things from the south american "VW Fox" fit right across (BX platform), and many parts from the Brazilian 2008/2009 VW Parati / Gol. The Iraq B1, used as the national taxi there, remained in production till the mid '80's.

Yep their extractors.

You sure do know you history.

[Jace]

I'm wishing I didn't have a quick look on carsales for one now.

Passat LS Wagon

I shivered.

[AlexV11]

Ahh yes, that one was listed a couple of years ago. I guess they are trying again. I don't mind the Kamei front spoiler, those are rare, but the the large rev counter looks over the top. Tacky. Someone buy it and make it look like a B1 again!

[huss]

ahh yes i saw that one the other day. Like the disk brakes on the back.
