1980 B1 Passat Project

Well congrats on making them, they make the car look so much sportier, definitely something I'll be doing later on.

Frank (and Red) went to Dubstitute today.

Newly refurbished Audi 100 wheels out for their first show.

We had these sand blasted and I painted them in Diamond Silver Metallic, Frank's original colour.

100 wheels really set of red Frank Pete! Well done, looks cleaner than ever

[Jarred]

looked great yesterday Pete!

the new wheels suited it much better I think. The paint work looked great as well!

Frank went to Bendigo today.

Lovely. I just read through the whole thread. Great work, mate.

I don't suppose you kept the rear window louvre that was on the car originally? I think it looked great.

This car is the hard-to-find facelift model of the b1 passat. It was imported new from Germany by an elderly man from Wangaratta, who held onto it for a number of years until it was acquired by some neighbours (A lady owner, if that makes a difference).

Funnily enough, the only time I've seen a B1 Passat was in Wangaratta! But it was orange :/

Thanks!

That rear louvre wasn't salvageable I'm afraid, it was badly cracked and very brittle. It came apart when I removed it.

Another DOVW for Frank, this time he had plenty of other B1s to keep him company.
