Welcome!

I asume that the grey one was the starting position with your car?
Don't like the grill mesh, but that bench in front is nice    

Have you done something with the engine? looks like you have some serious braking equipement  

Greetings Kense

Engine is 2lt 16 valve with stainless exhaust, decatted,  4 branch manifold and modified airbox, vr6 one day hopefully and back to the original colour

Bought my Passat just over two years ago after a long run of VW's mainly aircooled. Passat was bought as a standard GT as spares or repair and two weeks later took me to Madrid

Ass bought, my father in background

You could use Google translate... But asking is also an option

Using google translate but its hit and miss.

The one thing i do want for my car is a pair of Hella DE's which are hard to get hold off in the uk. Last week i bought a pair of BMW 320 lights which I am hoping to convert to fit. The plan so far is to separated the low and high beam lights and mount them in the backs of the original Passat lights that i have started to cut up. If this works it's going to cost me very little which is good in these times

Cool you put work in a conversion. You are using the E30's model right? Maybe you can use the E36 lights wich have the plastic/glass plate in front.

The Hella DE's are rare in Holland too. You might already know but www.ebay.de is a good place to find parts, but be sure you're seated before you look at the shipment prices

Cheers for link. I did consider using e36 units but unless i reshaped the outer edge they would not line up nicely with the indecaters. I also feel the e30 units if i can get them finnishe off neatly will look more old school plus they will be one off, bit like the rest of the car

Welcome,

Certainly not all is my taste, But I am also a difficult person

But I see things that you've done that have a lot of potential! So i'm very curious as it is finished!
