Very nice car. and rare too!
Welcome to the forums. Our member Zollie will love your car too, he just bought a 32B from france. |
Bienvenu dans cette forum!
Moi, je suis un novice ici aussi. Je suis tombe sur ton message au cours d un recherche Google sur des articles sur le Passat en France. Tu as raison, il n y en a beaucoup dans ton pays. Moi, je suis allemand mais mon bon vieux Passat (1982) a fait plusieurs voyages vers la France. T as un beau voiture. Le rouille sur les flancs derrieres, c est presque normal. Mais il y a des pieces a reparer ca, elles ne sont pas trop cheres mais il faut de la soudage et de la peinture. Quant a tes portes (les portes avant surtout), il n y a pas encore de la rouille sur les fonds? Je ne pense pas que tu parle allemand mais il y a des pages formidables sur le Passat 32b: www.passatclassic.de www.passat-kartei.de la derniere c est la page de la communaute "inofficiel" des chauffeurs du Passat 32 et 32b, et en y trouve des vrais specialistes! Je suis justement en train d astiquer ma voiture un peu (avec l aide d un garagiste compentent), elle a 30 ans maintenant et on peut l immatrucaler comme "voiture historique" en Allemagne, prevu que c est dans un etat assez agreable. |

Nice 32B :thumbup: |
oops, sorry for using french language only. Your translation seems to be an automatic one, here is the official version by the author:
Welcome to this forum! I am a newbie here, too. I stumbled across your posting during a Google search for articles referring to Passat in France. You are right, there are not too many in your country. I am german but my goodl old Passat (1982) has made several trips to France. You have a nice car. Rust on the rear sidewalls is almost normal. But there are repair sheets available, they are not too expensive but you need welding and painting. Concerning your doors (especially the front doors), there is no rust on the bottom parts? I don't think that you speak german but there are two great websites about the Passat 32b: www.passatclassic.de www.passat-kartei.de The latter one is the website of the semi-officiel union of Passat 32/32b drivers, there are some real specialists! I am just going to brighten up my car a little (with the help of a competent repairman), it has just 30 years and I can register it as a "vintage car" in german, provided that it is in a quite acceptable shape. |
Welcome Winfried. How about a thread on your Passat ?
|
Well, there is not much to say about my car, except that is one of the remaining 89 Passat Variant with the 63kW engine in Germany - and probably one of the very few of these with automatic gear box (these were never very popular in Germany). During the past months I had restored it cosmetically and also did quite a bit of work myself. It also needed some repairs, especially on the rear suspension, but NO welding on the main frame. I hope it will be registered as "vintage car" in the following days, and this will be the moment to present it to the public in all its beauty.

Love the raked look. Now some rims and call it done!
|
Why new rims?? The original rims do not look too bad on this car. And if they are rusty they can be repainted: brush off dust particles with an iron brush, two coats of anti-rust paint and one or two coats of rim silver paint. If you want a smooth surface you can add one or two layers of transparent paint. The silver and transparent paint are available in spray cans.
You can do all this without taking off the wheels, however it is better to take off the rims. You do not have to remove the tires if you tape carefully around the edges of the rim. My re-painted rims (which originally were quite rusty) do not show any new rust after six months. A guy once showed me repainted rims (without taking off the tires) and I could not believe that it was not the original factory paint, the surface was very smooth due to the layers of transparent paint he added. |
PS. If you repaint your rims and remove the wheel bolts make sure to clean the conical bores after painting. The conical part must not be coated in any way, because it is the friction between the conical bore and the conical part of the bolt which keeps the latter tightened!

THANKS WinfriedB :) :thumbup:
I do not keep the original rims sheets I think mount aluminum eras I'm on vacation in November with 1,200 km of journey well cool! I have also purchase a wreck to pieces! one interior in superb condition, the shock front, headlight I'm too cash! logo on the mudflaps [/b] |
Faut pas parler de rouler 1200km en Passat. Je suis roule 800km env. pendant un weekend pour une petite ronde en France, ca se fait sans problemes. Arreter l accelerateur a 120kmh sur une grande route nationale, prendre la voie gauche, et c est parti...
Dans les annees 80, je suis roule env. 2000km en Renault4 pendant les vacances en quelques semaines, dont la plupart en France. Les Passat ils sont assez fiables, et ils sont toujours une vue impressionante entre les voitures bien "arrondies" d aujourd hui. |

Nice update! What wheels are those?

On the last pic, these are the standard wheels/rims, made of steel and almost always rusty ... mine show spots of rust one year after re-painting. I think these rims still look best on the Passat 32B. The same rims were used on many other VW models of that era so it is no problem to find some in good condition - if you are willing to change over the tires. |
