Volkswagen Passat B2 // Bent rear axle beam, new drum brakes

[@OnkelPHMagee]

Thank you for appearing on-camera. It makes the video more personal.

[@JunkVWs]

I guess that's true. probably should do it more in the future

[@OnkelPHMagee]

@@JunkVWs I look forward to it.

[@thorstenh.5588]

Its great that you repair and drive this old Passat. I have the same car and for me its one of the best Passat of all times. Good driving experience, safe and so solid. AND you can repair the car without using a workshop. Good luck and enjoy the car.

[@JunkVWs]

Thanks, I am really enjoying the car already. One of my best purchases in a decade. Just need to catch up on maintenance. Some things were really neglected

[@Sharkuumk1]

Very nice craftmanship,cant wait next episode.

[@JunkVWs]

love to see a comment like this, that means you watched till the end 😁

[@itested1]

Very fun to watch, good job!

[@JunkVWs]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@vwcoco]

Excellent work ,hoping the 7 jobs needed to get the Passat on the road are an easier fix 👍

[@JunkVWs]

Thanks 👍 yeah mostly usual maintenance work that could have been done before the inspection if I had paid more attention to the front of the car. Was just super focused on that rear beam

[@nickmassey9104]

Well done .Great car .

[@JunkVWs]

yeah, I love it

[@joselebronzunzarren406]

Great job with the rear axle and brakes and very interesting video !!! In the next weeks, I will buy an VW Passat 1.6 D from eighties very similar to yours. Thank you for the video.

[@JunkVWs]

Thanks. Good luck with the purchase!

Labs darbs! Prieks redzēt ka arī Latvijā ir kas ciena šo klasiku

[@pstreetgarage7304]

Great job on the beam and brakes. Looks good. Are your brake lines copper ?

[@JunkVWs]

Some kind of mixed copper alloy. Bought a roll some years back, when a tech did my Golf brake lines and returned the leftovers. The ones on the Golf held up nicely, so didn’t stress on these ones

Wow! Great job! 👍How much time does this project took?

[@JunkVWs]

Not much, a week of actual work, longer with procrastination

Что это за друг такой, что позволил классике гнить у себя во дворе.

I am owner of a Volkwagen Passat from 1985, five doors, 70 HP(1588cm3 diesel turbo), 4 electric windows, 300000km rust free and paid 600€...Timing belt and rear wheel bearings to be changed...Nothing more....Mention "collector's vehicle" on the registration document ! Reduced technical inspection every five years ! No traffic limts ! According to French legislation...

[@JunkVWs]

That was a sweet deal 👍 I am way over 600€ in this car now and it still needs a lot. If I sorted out the visual damage I could apply to Historic vehicle registration but that doesn't give much incentives. As far as I know, only annual tax is canceled

tur mk1 golf 3 durvju pardodas par 1000e ss ar dokumentiem

[@user-nd7hd9if3i]

Did You sell your Volkswagen Golf mk1? This Passat is a nice car but i liked the Golf better

[@JunkVWs]

No. I still own several mk1 Golfs. But I am currently really excited about driving this Passat and the Golfs are now on back burner because of that
