looking to buy one soon. location of vehicle is no obstacle as long as you live within a few hours of an airport in the us or canada.

I've only ever seen sedan B3s here. Did VW sell B3 AAZ wagons here?

i 2nd exit in on i80... u drive right by..
020..... yes sort of... frame rail has to be cut.. 020 longer then 02a.. just bottom of it, half a inch.. shifter mount on rack... the shift tube nuuts cut, a z sorta shape piece made and splice tube back together, the shifter it taller and further back on a b3 vs mk2 so gotta get the rod lined up better..
mk2 pedals fit.. needs hammer mod where colum goes thru.. one spot is a tad tight..
tank.. supposedly a b4 tdi WAGON float fits.. mk3 different.. never work... and sedan no work... else you gotta cut off the pump tube crap and make a solid tube up.. i used nylon line with clamps.. tank holds more then 20 gal.. ive done 21 a couple times...

sounds like a plan probably take me at least a few months to get it all together. luckily I just got a second job so it we a little quicker to pull it off. what's a more suitable car a vr6 or 2.0

vr6 = 5x100 and +1 on suspention.. also for emissions a auto fail... no vw diesel for 93-96 till tdi in 96...
in 90-92 16v b3.... vw had 1.6 diesels in jettas/golfs so to cross plant a diesel in one just requires a but they had them in golf/jetta so dicking with epa regs not so bad if you live in a emisson requirement state.. just rember a eco diesel had cat.. na did not..
so do some reserch for your state to decide... my sedan was a 92, my wagon is a 90... if i was to ever sell it/require emissions i know i am covered... pluse got 3 more years till its 25 and theory is historical plates
too bad i need 1 car to have normal plates... not driven my b3 in 18 months... kubvan been my travel car.. not needed a 3rd person seat in long time.. but its got plates/insurance...
work wise... vr6/16v.. same.. vr6 = electric speedo... 16v = cable...
ac lines... 16v hook right up to mk1/mk2 ac comp... vr6.. not..
but vr6 may hook upto tdi style ac comp with serp.. do not know 100% though..
id also do heater core during the build with flap refoam.. pull dash for wiring ease/pedal swap ease.. i had already done this in my sedan.. so swapped it too during the build on the wagon.. this is also a good time to swap to black carpet or better carpet if wanted... the grey/tan carpets suck/stain..

ill probably have the car registered in ohio. would like to use a hydro motor will actually probably use eco motor asf trans and eco exhaust i just put in my jetta and just find an N/a and trans to put back in it and sell the car. 16v chasis probably sounds better I more of a manual cable type of guy opposed to being all electrified and digital. I assume the world will be mad maxx in a few years so I make my car accordingly. ac don't know if I want it or not. did any of these b3's come with sunroofs? one thing I like having in a car.

most all have sunroofs... most have power locks/windows too... ive seen i think 3 or so over my life with manual windows/mirrors and 2 with no sunroofs... those were sedans... wagons.. cannot say ive not seen decked out..
i myself.. if you can.. find a 02a version.. reuse the 02a on diesel.. and if at all possible.. no abs.. abs sucks..

I've seen more than one B3 Passat AAZ wagon for sale here on the West Coast of Canada, so they do exist. FWIW, the 93 Passat sedan I had was hands down the worst car I've ever owned. I ended up parting it out and scapping it after spending $1000s trying to keep it on the road. I'd never go near one again. OK, end of rant.
