My B5 passat... Not realy a build.

this passat is the sex!

keep it up!

Thanks dude, I will.

Managed to get the rears done today Really happy with them. They look cool.
Managed to do it without removing the bumper which was a plus as well. Just fed the wires through the vents behind the bumper.

Cut a hole in the bumper for the wires and soldered on the bulb holder.



Cut holes in the trim and put the lights in.



Done deal








Dirty car



Should be getting the exhaust fitted tomorrow if I can get it on the ramp.

Thanks zuko! Its £128 a month for it but a share it with a friend so its not bad at all.

Just read the whole thread. Amazing car!

How much is the rent on that shop?

[LukeyBabes]

Lol ok. Its been off before. When I changed my cam belt. Rear one will be coming off tomorrow if my extra bulb holder turns up. .
And hopefully again soon to be painted.

Well all the b5 owner's I know have had their bumpers off for one reason or another. Maintenance, modding, painting, ripped it off from being too low. Guess it was my failed attempt at humor.

[LukeyBabes]

bumper off?? You must own a B5.

Sorry I don't understand what you mean.

Fitted



New badge because my old one went missing. Glued it down this time.



Need to do the rear markers now. Might get round to it tomorrow.

[LukeyBabes]

Sooo, Bought a new exhaust, welded it to a bit of metal at each end to keep them in the right place. Cut about 20mm out of the upright bits and welded back together. Hopefully it still fits tomorrow.

[LukeyBabes]

Yeah that's what I was planning on using. Waiting for my mate to buy some to do his chassis notch. Then I don't have to buy them and I cant just nick his. lol.

[hinrichs]

hole saw works very well for those cuts, i learned that after cutting up my rain tray

[LukeyBabes]

I really do hope they harden up. lol.

[Raarasutra]

They'll get used to it just as you finish your fourth wheel

[LukeyBabes]

But I have literally worn through the first layer of skin on the ends of my fingers. They are a bit raw.
