Pics of my 75 Passat Wagon

[Lukev85]

Hey guys,

Had the Passat for a while now, been lazy to get some pics up. Tooks these on Sunday arvo just after a wash and polish.

Its my 75 Passat Wagon. It goes hard, the credit has to go to its previous owner Steve. He has done everything to it, i was just lucky enough to buy it. Its got a 1.9L Engine fully balanced, big cam and twin dellortos 45's. (I'll get some pics of the engine asap)

17inch rims, slightly lowered, 2inch exhaust.

Interior is pretty stock, Steve added a TS recaro steering wheel.

I've had the alternator reconditioned as that stuffed on me. Its off the rd atm, starter motor dying and water pump leaking, gettin repaired soon.

Only minor things needed to be done, mainly electrical (old cars). Gonna put in a new system soon too(current one is ok, sounds good when i got my sub hooked up), thinkin bout some personalised plates. As I mentioned it goes hard, and hammers them Pulsars sss and fully sik civics.....



Any dubbers have any recomendations on anything else to do to the car??

Btw Sorry bout the blurry pics, will get more of the interior and engine.

[XXX-1.8T]

Luke is that Steve Natoli's old Passat?

I reckon u do something differnt.

Strip the tint on the window's, get some stock wheels with hub caps, put some thin white walls, and deck the windows with some venetians ;)

Lookin good anyways :)

Yeh it is. Im mates with his brother and i remember when he 1st brought it. Its definatly come along way.

Ive got some 17inch chromes im putting on soon.

Its only 4 speed gear box, a 5 speed is definatly on the cards.

But i like the sound the the oldie white walls and blinds in the rear.

[KI11Z]

man those wheels make it look way to mazda toyota faw me , , , otherwise its a cracker!! im liking the steelies wid white wall idea, give it some charater!

[Lukev85]

Same here, only prob when i brought the car the original wheels did not come with it as steve didnt have them.

Would really like to get my hands on the original Passat wheels. Anyone on the forum got them or know where i can get them?

[VWEAPN]

i like it, looks like a RX2 from the front, venetians all the way!

[Nick_80]

the 13" steelies make them handle light absolute crap... unless you get some custom made so they are 6" wide appossed to 4" or maybe get sum E30 stock bmw wheels same stud pattern and 6" wide pretty sure, while retaining an oldschool look

ya can't put blinds in a wagon rear window...

[GermanwithaVdub]

ya can't put blinds in a wagon rear window...

Luke & Ben your Passats look cool! (Blinds or no blinds)

:? *sigh* starting to think I'm only old Passat owner in Brisbane...

Hey Luke I don't suppose you know where those 17 inchers came from? Last time I tried I had trouble finding any decent looking wheels that had the right stud pattern. I've got some pretty lame alloys on my '76LS that I'd like to improve on when I get the thing resprayed.

[Water Boy]

This is hot :D

It came with the car, though I put some chromes on for abit and had no dramas. Just gotta get the custom drilled to ur stud pattern
