Borbet As are fine, but also like the Cups in the red one, though my favourite wheel is the Ronal Turbo.... @hcon: You'll soon see the silver one live (life is the wrong word for sure ;D ), i am really tempted to put the arches on, paint the whole car white, do the red-orange-yellow stripes like the 70s Kamei Golfs and put the Ronals on it.... puh... but i am buying new quarter panels or i am just a coward and can't dare to drill holes in the new metal... at the moment there are enough holes left ;D

Jürgen, how you getting on mate? Passat already welded up....... ;D collecting panels at the moment; most of them will arrive in two weeks with the polarexpress Polardego, who comes over for a visit ;D also got an e-mail from a classic car magazine, which is interested in "hopeless" projects ;D I already have a brand new front wing, a rear quarter panel, a rear inner wing and a trunk lid... also some of the panels necessary for the front and a good second hand bonnet; and I have found a spot welder in the company, so hopefully soon there will be a grinding and welding event.... i'll post a pic from the brand new rear axle mount tonight.... time is a bit short at the moment, as someone drove over our cat and nearly killed it... so i am a cat nurse at the moment....

my mate (the bodyshop owner) came over a couple of days ago, looked at the Passat for 3 seconds and said "Don't do it, don't restore this car"... as i always listen to experienced people i came to the conclusion, that ... i don't care ;D ;D ;D Just to start doing anything, i took the drill and the grinder out and removed some metal... bought a very good wire brush, and we have rust free metal (at last).... so this is a bit more complicated, i have to weld the inside before, shaping some panels, as this is one of the four subframe mounts... nasty piece of a-pillar, i removed the tacky weldings from the previous owner; and stopped here with this art-shot... the missus had some other jobs for me in the house soon to follow : the Passat will receive some attention from our norwegian friend

I love the "2008?" writting on it haha he he he, in the begining i planed to have the TÜV (and classic plate) made in march 2008, but that was before taking the car apart. Now i am planning to have the bodywork done in 2008, which is still a challenge ....
