Damo 85 0 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Helloo!Been a while but i thought i would show my face again! Just picked up my latest dub today, and so far i have to say im impressed! She's a 2001 reg passat 4motion (or syncro, whatever you prefer!) all the usual goodies like half leathers, xenons, climatronic etc. done 114k, really tidy outside and spotless interior. Full history, only 3 of which were not VW services, loads of paperwork... Overall i now have something big enough for the family and it still goes like stink!!!First job for tomorrow is plenum drains, (used the washwipe on the way home and it was sat under the battery when i parked up :-# )Then i'm looking at a decent air filter to get her growling a little more, some badge/rear wiper deletion etc.. just little jobs for the weekend.Advice / opinions welcome as always Link to post Share on other sites
oldmandon 1 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Very nice, What colour is that?

Good find hope you'll both be very happy!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Damo 85 0 Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I'll have a look for the paint code tomorrow, but its a metallic charcoal grey colour in the flesh Yeh i had full leathers in the vr highline and they burnt like a mofo in weather like today, these are lovely!!!

Damo 85 0 Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 After finding windscreen wash surrounding the battery tray, i whipped the whole thing out to have a look at the plenum drains:After some fingering (ooh er), both of the drains were cleared out nicelyAnd i gave the whole bay a good sprucing whilst under the bonnet for good measure Hopefully I'll have time for a quick wash and polish this afternoon if the rain holds off....

Damo 85 0 Posted October 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 I had a play around on the pc and got an idea of how i want this one looking, basically smoothed rear end, debadged grille and smoked oe headlights.. Already ordered my grille this evening, so should begin making a start on these bits at weekend, kids and hospital visits allowing excuse the poor photoshop efforts, was only a quick 5 mins!!
