.... I thought you guys might be interested to see my whip as I'll be a regular contributer to this section with my photos of all the meets and shows I go to.

Looked like this the day I picked it up:

Got a one way ticket on the train to view it in Swansea so even if I didn't like it I had to buy it to get the several hundred miles home. So I parted with my £450 and headed home!

Anyway I knew what I wanted to do straight away so steels were painted white and coilovers and stickers were wanged on.

As it is now:

Got some future plans but cash is tight these days.

Such a pimp wagon , was it you that was getting grief on Edition or No-Rice for cutting your springs or something. You at No-Rice next week cos i'd love to get some pics of it :-D

Love it mate, simple but effective. Used to have a white B3. Wish I hadn't got rid of it now but I only paid £120 for it and sold it for £100 after running it for 4 month. Quality cars all the way. When I got mine it had 227,000 miles on it and I kicked its head in constantly. Still didn't smoke, use oil/water when I got rid of it. I'l have another one someday :-D

Yeah I'll be at No Rice next week.

I love it more than pretty much any other dub I've had. As it's the 2.0 16v one it absolutely flies, i've seen 135 indicated on the clocks on a couple of occasions. As it's a 9A it's 138bhp stock but I have a set of KR cams to go in it which will up it to 150bhp+ but I need to spend my money on MOT jobs first.

The worst thing with it though is the smell, it's suffered from bad damp in the past and the carpets stink. I've shampoo'd it twice now and it's getting better. Especially since I fitted a different set of seats (The old ones were ripped and minging).

Still not as hot as my mates one though with is the slightly rarer 1.8 G60 Syncro estate.

Looks good. The red pin striping is a nice touch. :)

looks clean B)

Nice.

I think I've seen you about in Reading...

This thing pimps hard man ..

Needs to be stickerd up and have some insane tuck omn the go

Yeah I work in Reading up at the back of Queens Road.

Since those shots were taken I've dropped it a bit further and the stickers have multiplied somewhat! Ideally want to be rolling on some white 15 x 7 wellers but money is too tight at the moment to splash out on new rims. Hopefully it'll be sorted for next year though.

Oh and the red stripe has actually gone. I liked the look from the back but the red stripe just didn't work for me on the front as it didn't tie in with anything, at least at the rear there was the red 16v badge and the lights. It's gone back to silver for the time being.

I love that shape Passat Wagon. The 16V ones especially cause of that bodykit they put on them. Looks so pimpity.

think I've seen you on southern dubbers? if so I've commented on it there.

loves it!

Tis a pimp car, my bro had one for a couple of months whilst his Golf was off the road, soooooooooooo much space, and after drilling some holes in the airbox it had a nice sound as well.

It's the twin of my ex's car, except hers is a saloon.

I presume you know about the UK Passats forum?

Great cars. Used to own a mint VR6 estate some years back.

When I bought it as an insurance write off...

And 3 months of spare time work later...

I fucking love that shape Passat. They just look pimp. Wagons only though, saloons look a bit gay.

Saloons aren't so bad when you get used to them...

And when they're as clean and as high spec as this one is, they're easy to live with.

Really tidy, like it alot

wagons all the way, my dads had 2, love them. it only the b3 shape i like which is weird. would deffo get a GT if i needed a estate

Aarrgghhhh MOT due in a week, soooooo much to do!

Now rolling on 2 really rusty steels on the front as I discovered I was missing 65% of my tread on the front. Slicks FTW!

Passat B3 G60 Syncro with full leather interior...now that is a cool car...
