The Passat - depressing times

anything can mate within reason, theres a guy with a b3 estate and he has made his into a van, proper retro and cool as fck
id love to do it but it would probably be costly,
it would be wicked though cos id have some thick memory foam and have like a fold down bed, that fills the back when down but can like fold up and give a massive space for lugging stuff about or even come out completely so it is a full on van, if i ever get the chance i think im gonna go for it.... that and some nice power mods would really make it different, a 1.8t passat van running 300 or so bhp, i cant imagine there anything like that about
reality check for now though, nothing will be getting done mod wise for a while i reckon, other than completing retrofitting fogs

say cheese

seen that guy in the passy Q before..........think they call him Bicky ma Roy!! hehe

car looking good

who was i kidding saying i wasnt gonna be doing much......
even the key couldnt escape








the start of a dark rooflining

looking good will look great with the dark rooflining
but the key totally finish it off for me

Them bits are lookin good i like the idea of the rooflining are the pillars going to be done the same or are you leaving them as they are ?

yes mate doing the pillars, i was reluctant to leave them bits on the switches in the cream colour but i originally painted some black and it just kept chipping off when putting back together, doesnt look as bad as i thought it would with cream buttons anyway

When i posted about the pillars i thought afterwards are the pillars already black lookin top can't wait until it's all done it's gona look top dog

right well i ran out of dye so the roof is a bit patchy and i only got one of the pillars done :hyst but they will be easy enough to trim instead if i fancy it, also bobbed on a new bit while the lining was down, think jaws.....



after being undecided what to do with the grab handles and visors ive left them for now and kinda like the contrast, goes with the pillars that arent done anyway....

Nice loving the black headline and the carbonfibre bits looks sweet

Looks good i like the grab handles with the black roof aeriel looks nice and discreet.

lovin the new gear it all looks good m8

seeing the carbon fibre stuff in the flesh makes me NEED some lol, it really looks smart and it all blends in really well

gone old school and got some sheffield metal on mi motor.... steel of course 16s



clearance of the 312 brakes

mmmmmmm loving the lowness now you need to paint the rims like this but maybe candy blue

Looks good on steelies isn't the purpose of the wheels to be a winter wheel isn't the above going to get wrecked with bad weather they would look good like that though

yeah theyre winters/one for spare rest of the time, i might pee about and paint them or do something

ye would nice with painted steelies

steelies wooooooooow lol

took me a while to notice today till you pointed it out.............but there aint nothing wrong with rolling on steels

if you paint then do several coats of laquer and they shuold be good for winter running and still look cool lol i would recommend 4-5 coats of clear laquer and they should be hard enough to with stand the salt and cold weather
