My B5 passat... Not realy a build.

[LukeyBabes]

Got my new workshop! Had to bring all my junk down and forgot how much I had! lol. The fun part was towing my mk1 down because my car looked awesome towing a trailer. Hd to tow my mates new jetta down there as well.













And I jacked my car up to check the damage from the new lows and I head my exhaust blowing. Nothing really just a little wear.



I've worn through my flexi joint.

Thanks! Its was just material from a local fabric shop. So good luck finding it on the internet. No idea who made it or anything.

Thanks! Currently doing the wiring for the ABF on throttle bodies engine conversion in the mk1. Almost finished the wiring on it.

I finally got round to changing my coolant bottle and thermostat today. And while I was waiting for the engine to cool down so I could drain with without burning myself I wound the coilovers down 10mm. ;-) Although I was disappointed after leaving my workshop that I didn't scrape on the country road so may have to go a bit lower tomorrow.

When I opened the bonnet I found that my VW badge on the engine cover has gone missing . Will have to go to VW on monday and get me a new one and glue it down! lol.

Before



Made a mess of my floor taking the coolant out. lol



Few little battle scars




After





45mm thread left! Will be less tomorrow!



And I noticed a nice big dent in the top of my struts! Time for a notch!



And really need to change this because its really annoying me! Will chop the new one about and move it up into that MASSIVE tunnel to protect it!

I really like the way this is coming along. I know people have asked before and they have been talked about but what are the specs of those wheels? Also I've been having issues with my UCAs hitting the rain tray(?) and am interested to see how you'll notch it.... My friends and I were thinking of going under the car and hammering the piss out of that area to bubble the metal out. I've seen some pictures of other B5's with those cuts made and it didn't look so great. Keep it coming!

[LukeyBabes]

The wheels are 18x8j 5x120pcd Et 57

Im gonna notch it by cutting a hole really neat like this



Then welding a domed bit of metal over it like so.
