Wagon was in an accident. The battery was pushed back and broke the shift tower. I installed a new shift tower and the car starts and runs on its own power. The left engine rail is bent and this can be fixed on a frame machine at a body shop in less than 4 hours. I recommend buying a gasoline Passat sedan parts car for $500 and using it for parts. The A-pillar is straight and the windshield only broke from the hood being pushed into it. The drivers door does not close correctly so that hinge likely moved. Please contact me if you are interested in this car as a project. I would like to see this rare TDI back on the road. The car is located in Charleston, SC. Make an offer.

$500 gasser parts car + time of frame machine = Sweet B4V

The other good news; I may have a buyer coming down from New Hampshire.

That is a nice wagon for $1,000. Rust in NH is bad but a VA car is not free of surface rust like a true southern car.

We will be making a move on this car in January. Let me know if anyone is interested. Otherwise, I put a rabbit radiator in it and ask a frame shop. Then fix it or part it out.
