OK, the project has begun! I've been seriously missing my blue 6-spd JETTA TDI Wagon since the buyback and have been lusting over a built Passat wagon for years... Found a decent 2004 with a blown Auto Trans for a very good price, so it's "Hello Frans"! Getting a Euro transmission, likely a DUK, and manual shift kit, a Frans-recommended DMF with a SACHS clutch... will be having Mike McCann do a Malone Stage 2 tune on it while he does the Auto-delete... will likely have him do the swap and balance shaft delete too. I'm planning a mild suspension for it and I'll do the paintwork eventually. I've seen some Plasti-Dipped cars that look damn good, though a nice custom blue-green candy job would be awesome! I used to be able to paint in my garage before it got so cluttered. Good excuse to clean the place up! I'll post pictures as the project progresses!
