What are you summer B3/B4 plans & projects?

[iamsuperdan]

So winter seems to be finally done with, everyone is getting their cars prepped for the spring/summer cruising/show season.

What are you planning on getting done to your Passat this year?

For me:

-head gasket
-timing chains/guides
-crack pipe
-rust repair
-replace front bumper cover
-repaint

My garage is going to be a busy place this spring! The engine stuff will be done by the end of April. Hopefully will have a good start on the bodywork.



and you?

For my B4 wagon:

mk4 vr6 12v intake manifold swap.
Paint job
get poly supports
change brake pads
replace rear beam bushings.

For the new Mk4 24valver GTI

Get the Mexico License plates

That's all

[Slim4life]

frame notch, beef up lower control arms and armor the K members, and raise the motor some more.

[IFlyGTI]

I need to do a few things as time & funds (& patience) permit.

Figure out why the f this thing is sutch a b!tch to start in the mornings. And when I restart it.
Source a Canadian-spec dash (no kneebar notch) in that taupey-grey.
Replace the front bumper cover (mine has smiley-B3 syndrome)
Find someplace to stash the amp & Phatnoise, since the cabin is not as audio-friendly as my Mk3
Remove & build a smaller sub enclosure in the spare tire tub. Don't need one sized for two 10's.
Buff out the paint & touch up all the scratches & chips it's incured through its many miles & years of service.
Add harnesses for new CEL location, front lighting w/fogs, headlight relays & range adjustment bits etc while the dash gets swapped.


That's about all I can think of right now.

i am hoping to put my sedan back on the road after a 2 year rest...
i got mk4 calipers in at this time; i am waiting on some tresser tails to arrive and drive the car over to my work; 2 blocks down the road; so i can start thowing parts onto it; not at it...

if i can get the headlight washer syem; the tails; the front fogs and leveling system in this year; i will be a happy camper...
maybe put a few performance parts into the 16v motor also if time allows and the family schedual...

[whitseml]

Going to redo the front brakes once my rotors get here and replace the ball joints. Also have to do some spring cleaning on it this weekend and get the salt and pollen off it.

Once I have some money I'll be buying some MK4 rear brakes and replace the rear wheel bearings and maybe possibly have my ABS working again...but I'm not holding my breath.

Id like to tackle the heater core and install a mk3 remote control locking unit in my b4.

[Slim4life]

heater core is super easy.... there is just alot to it.

[SilentDawn]

Get mine back on the road again! I miss having a 4 door!

Tasked:

Chains
head spacer
stage 3 clutch (Unknown manufacturer, Spec has disappointed me)
LSD
re-route intake piping
maybe SRI
connect down pipe to exhaust
Make dump tube for waste gate
Re-register
Roll fenders

Finding time to work on my own projects is the big factor for me.

Oh, how I wish my car would accept one of those.

[Kritter]

Sell my Mk3 to buy it, slap the coilovers and my D90's on it... Drive it. Love it.

[dewkie]

Find a silver LF door
Sand down rust on RR wheel arch and spray it before I need real body work.
Try to massage header panel into original shape.
Use all of the spare strikers I have and make my trunk lock cyl match everything else


At least one good road trip in the wagen

[petekrow]

I wish to rebuild the motor and tranny from my old car and beef it up a lil. I was thinking about boring out to 3.0, but that may be too much for me yet.
realistically: tons of body work, new exhaust system, cleaning up the bay, tune-up, chains and clutch hopefully.

[91B3DUB]

I plan on getting paint hopefullybefore SOWO but if not oh well, but other than that by June.


carbs
build my bbs's
change out bushings in suspension
mk4 rear brake upgrade
install flip down tv for the kids (maybe)

[Microbe]

Install a new H&R/Bilstein suspension (-40mm). And modd my old Hella headlights with projectors.

dropping my eurobumper off for paint this week, finally!
installed my driverside underdash tray, need to complete my A/C delete to install the passengerside.
euro taillights have been in route from Germany for about 4 weeks now (waited 6 to get my headlight switch)
Just ordered tuner lugs and spacers for the new Weds (I know...JDM) will be on this weekend hopefully
reinstalled my factory radio, so much smoother than any aftermarket, now I just need to source a factory CD changer
hoping to get some time with the Porter Cable this weekend.

[x9t]

I plan to do the following:

Engine pulled and rebuilt/Cleaned/some polishing.. a basic paint on the block.
V3 Super Charger
Coils overs 8380 tuning
Upgrade all brakes (looking at mk4 rear and TT front set up)
New Deck with speakers
Install Sound Insulation

Should be good.

For my B4 Sedan Vr6:
-Replace the transmission because the case on the the trans cracked. (possibly gonna swap a few gears out and do the clutch while im at it too)
- Rear pads and rotors
- Port out my intake manifold and polish it up or paint it
- Finally put my wheels on
- port out the exhaust manifold and get a TT downpipe
- Mk3 VR Lip

Its my first summer with the passat, so im making sure shes running and looking proper

[CustomCooled]

For my B3 Wagon VR6 Sport Automatic:
-replace hacked together engine harness. (Previous owner or owner's mechanic butchered the thing with splices and electrical tape.)
-replace poorly polished manifold for a stock one
-freshen up engine bay with some paint and missing plastics
-put interior back together and super douche all seats and carpet
-remove old purple tint
-replace all suspension/steering bushings, joints, etc.
-install new coilovers
-repaint lower portion of car
-rebuild 17" RSs for finishing touch

Just finished rebuilding a standard none EGR harness into one that has all the stuff I needed for my application. Painful. Still took less time than trying to find a "good" dizzy VR, with EGR, automatic one. Tint removed. 2 down, 7 to go.
