Old school audis

Same, its great to see ppl actually out there you have a thing for the old audi and passats.

It has a big valve head, 1.9L rebuilt and balanced motor, twin 45 dellorto sidedraft webbers, massive cam, MSD ignition. The previous owner did all the work.

Its a beast

Here is some pics taken at the nationals. If you look around the forum you will find pic of it doing massive burnouts. The previous owner used to race it.

Nice to see that there are some of these old girls left. Good work saving it from the wrecker.

There are a couple of bits, like the thrust washer in the end of the crank that would fit all passats from 1974-2004. Yours is indeed the start of the story.

The guy who owned Lukes Passat before him has an Audi Grille for your car with the rings on it. I`ll find out if he will sell it for you.

thought since i was gaining a little interest with my automobile i thought i would share with you the complexities i had from the start

the original sunroof the previous owner put it, leaked like no 2morrow!



after i got fed up with the water dropping onto my head and i had to drive to one side of my seat i descided enough was enough and to get this problem sorted! went though all the options of filling the hole, replacing it with similar pop top sunroofs (similar leaking problems would then occur later) desided to go looking at steel sunroofs out of E30's etc etc but ended up been rusted to big, wrong curve etc etc,

ended up with a sunroof out of a Honda fits like a glove! heres the pic
