This is Ziggy, came to us as a wrecker but it's just too good to pull apart so I'm putting it back on the road as a weekender for a friend.
It has uncracked dash, working vent windows, South Africn HD wheels and Kamei Door pockets!
Diesel was non functional, suspected blown head.
Plan is a quick build and RWC for this one, only really needs a working motor and all the electrics sorted.
An 1800 (Ex dubai gti's cabrio) is going in instead of the Diesel.
That's the motor I put the stem seals into.
South African Heavy Duty wheels. The spare even has the original tyre on it!
The best original dash I've ever seen.
One deceased diesel and a whole bunch of dodgy wiring.
Ziggy!

There was quite a few fatigue cracks in the front valance needing repair, I welded them all up today after pulling the motor out.

First manual car I ever drove Pete! Im pretty sure it has been to Perth twice, Adelaide a few times and Queensland many others!
May this beast live on...

Nice work Pete.
You must get bored on weekends I reckon, or you just love bring vw's back from the brink!

This is one way to block off the unneeded water galley when changing the inlet manifold to a TS passat one. It's an M10 bolt tapped and loctited into the gallery. Sure a plug would be neater but this is easy to get out if I have to.

Weekends are never boring at my house !Originally Posted by golfworx
I would have gotten the motor in today but I had a snapped exhaust stud put up a fight and a couple of other delays. In the end I had to oxy a nut to the remaining stub and use a rattle gun to get it out.

Yeah, I was going to ask you if you wanted any of the diesel stuff out of this. Everything except the head and block should be OK. Even the glow plug fuse box is intact and has it's cover. There's also 1/2 tank of diesel I need a new home for
