Thought id start a project page on the old girl as a few more things have been done and soon will be done. Nothing extravagant from earlier this year. Its a pretty solid little car. Only problem i had recently was temperamental starting. Pulled the starter motor apart and found plenty of dust which was effecting the brushes in the motor to spring back to place. After an air pressure clean and new brushes it starts, first time every time LOL.

These passats dont look too bad when kept reasonably original, so the plan is to just dump it in the weeds and throw on a steel/wood roof rack (EMPI style). Suspension is a PITA. Apparently various VW/Audi suspension components are interchangeable with the Passat/Dasher. Cars like the 4000, quantum, Audi Fox. Problem is these particular parts are rare in Aus and sourcing stuff from overseas that "MAYBE will fit" is something I cant be bothered stuffing around with just yet. So maybe ill bring out the grinder for a quick fix. But suspension is next on the cards.
Anywho some pictures.
