    F & S Automotive Performance in Sutton MA

    11-08-2011 01:48 PM #1
    I would Love to Thank Theo for being such a great helper in making a bad situation to a wonderful experience.

    This past September I was in a car accident that caused my to lose my precious daily driver:

    1996 VW Passat TDI

    I loved everything about this car except for the fact a Wagon would have suited me better.
    so when the insurance company totaled the car on me I was devistated.
    So there i was looking for a replacement.

    Lucky me I found a 1996 VW Passat TDI Wagon in the same color
    unfortunatelythe car had been sitting for over 5yrs.
    very rough with rust spots here and there and clear coat peeling all over the place
    price was right though

    Thank you Kraftwerkes in Braintree
    especially Chris Hill

    So after Cleaning out the Wagon I started to swap parts: starting with the starter
    change fuel filter
    and oil change
    start the car
    and alternater catches fire.
    so swap out the alternater
    now i got a running TDI Wagon.

    Off to F&S to fix paint and Rust


















    And the Project to replace the Daily Driver has Begun!

    Tell me about it. Worked for the Ultimate screwy one for far too long. He actually took perfectly good VR ones and converted them to TDIs then sold them for waaaaaaaaaaay more than they were worth. Did rust repair on a couple of them.

    You're right, the only thing even cooler than you're old passat will be that this one is a wagon! Looking forward to seeing this one all prettied up.

    Best of luck.

    Wow guy. Thought you were building a new daily, 1st time I checked this thread. Looks more like your building a show car.
