Viewing tomorrow...........

[Rocket88]

 

 

Going to look at this tomorrow.....I expect a good shoeing from the anti VAG contigent!

[DVee8]

Nope no shoeing.Not for a early-ish pisshat..

 

Tell us more.

[Rocket88]

B2, with the 5 pot Audi lump....no MOT, but supposedly solid if a little scruffy. Red Alfa leather interior, some of which is actually attached to the car.................

[Supernaut]

Fuck's sake, look how low it already is!

[Lacquer Peel]

Reinstate the suspension please

[Dick Cheeseburger]

Yummy.

[Cleon-Fonte]

I reckon you should buy it, if only to prove an old VW can be run without tyres rubbing on the wheelarches (naturally wrapped around frankly embarassing wheels), fake rust and garish retina-bending paintwork. If you get rid of those roof bars and fail to cover your windows with chavvy-looking stickers you'll rock the universe of VWists across the land.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

These are great, I'd love one. That one looks like its had the standard issue spring choppage though so you'll need to fix that to avoid looking like a twat

[Rocket88]

I'm taking a position on pineapple futures..................

[Dave_Q]

+eleventy on the unlowering, otherwise HOT.

That looks a nice car under the slight pineappling.   Are these the ones with a longitudinal 5 pot driving the front wheels?   Alfa interior might be worth keeping as the original cabin was a bit dark and grim.   And hard to find these days.

 

I once drove one at a summer laboring job I had.   It was a nice thing to drive and plenty powerful for an 18 year old.   I now realize that the strut tops were likely fucked as it would lurch alarmingly on full power.

 

Come to think of it the guy I was working for was a prime shiter, his daily at the time was a Renault 30.  

[Timewaster]

Requires immediate untwatting.

[Felly Magic]

Deffo needs de-pineapple-ing

[Skizzer]

As above on putting the suspension back.  These are lovely, especially in 5-pot flavour.  

 

The roofbars should stay though, they're factory standard fit.

[xtriple]

I bought a taxed, tested and full of petrol one of those at auction for a quid once! It was a bloody brilliant car and served us well as a removal lorry and general hack for everyone I knew.

 

It was doom blue and a bit scuffed here and there, maybe that's why there were no bids on the poor old thing.

 

Get it bought, airbags for suspension, paint stripper on the bonnet/wings, and then sticker bomb the rest. Oh, don't forget roof rack with all your worldly goods strapped loosely on it and several comedy stickers on the tailgate.

 

You dare!

[trigger]

If you want to buy a 5 pot then came and buy my Audi! It's a far more fun engine too. Is this for sale in the Suffolk area as I'm sure I've seen photos of it before?

[Rocket88]

Not particular about 5 pot, but do need an estate....car is in darkest Daarset.

[sierraman]

I like that shape Passat. Saw a Santana the other day looked a nice car in comparison to the usual Sierra/cavalier fare

[Felly Magic]

I'm puzzled as to what the other estate car is in the background

[Lacquer Peel]

Citroen GS?

[Mr Bump]

Shinier rails than Network South East. Bump approves.

[SiC]

I like that roof rack. Goes with the silver body and looks to be correct for the period of the car. May even be factory fitted?

[Mr Bump]

Rails are correct and period

[jonathan_dyane]

Can't you buy the GSA instead?

[Rocket88]

Passat guy did say he was having a clear out, I'll ask what else he's getting rid of, and report thusly................viewing at twelve

[Guest Hooli]

Poor thing needs rescuing & suspension refitting.

[Sealtainn]

Come on man - what have you been doing?

You've had 28 minutes to look at the Pisshat - what else has the chap got for sale?

[Rocket88]

OK, back safe and sound, car was as described, and after some perfunctory haggling, I bought it. Sound chap selling it, he's going to sign up for these hallowed pages, as his 'shite credentials are immpecable......to boot;

1 x Citroen AX

1 x Citroen GS estate

1 x Citroen CX estate

1 x Citroen XM

1 x T4 Transporter

 

.....all of which are in various stages of fixorating

 

He also has a classic Beetle, and a rather minty XM for general duties

 

Passat is not rotten, but probably will be in a year's time if left to it's own devices, I'm going to do the old "pre book an MOT", and drive it back tomorrow. If I can find a photograph taking device, the usual pez station / handover / Woolarding shots will ensue........

 

Further to the above, a blackcurranty Volvo 960 estate will shortly be for sale.......

[scruff]

Nice one Col... I do like these 

[Rocket88]

He may be selling an XM estate fairly soon...............
