Note on the list of things to do when its straight

[Turkster]

well things are moving in the right direction in my garage, iv atacked the front end today, stripped down all the front bits, saved all the non broken parts, then loaded them onto the new slam pannel, and put most of it back together, i still need to get some new bits before i can say the front is done, the wing also needs bending back to shape, i felt good about it as iv never taken the front of a passat off before, i had a peep at the cam belt when i had a min, it looks almost brand new, so thats one less job to do,

its starting to take shape,



some of the busted parts,

cheers for the photos Turks..

I know at your expense... but i love seeing a car in the rebuild stage and then the final product...

You get such a great feeling once finshed... apart from thinking... about time!!

Looks a good set up you have there.. is it a garage or your place?

its my place rick, you got good eyes, im a car trader, iv just taken a shine to passat tdi's as they are the hot cars to buy build and resell for a nice paypacket, i cant seem to get enough of them, iv just been out this week and got 2 more passats tdis, face lift models, i will have 6 in the workshop when i collect them

as for fixing my crashed passat, im getting some great feelings about doing it more hands on rather than getting a crew member to do it all,

have a look in here,
