R36 Rear end is done! Definitely took me a lot longer than I expected to put it all back together, but a good learning experience nonetheless and will make all future projects like this a lot easier!
You said it took a little bit longer than expeted but the results is five star too bad its under the car 😁 but a ggod content on a upcomming classic VW 👍 I like your english accent. Easy to listen to as a swedish guy 🙂
Hello, I saw there was a part in a video were u viewed the diagram which had parts, it is possible for you you share the webpage u us d to see parts assemble and part numbers
The format of your videos are mad therapeutic. You don't just take stuff off and put it back on, you run us through your thought process as well. The restoration has been incredible as well. You just got stuck in and smashed it
Mate this build has got to be my favourite so far. The level of detail is insane and it’s so satisfying watching all of it finally come together. Insane progress over the years. Looking forward to seeing this thing fully completed. Sick job man.
The r36 estate is a great choice TR, looks like it’s going to be better than new when you finish. Love seeing an older car brought back to life, well done brother
Wow..I know you put in a lot of new parts, but the work you put in on wheelarch, underbody etc...make it look stunning....if front end comes up similar it will be amazing to see.well done Hamza
Enjoyed that. A lot of hours gone into that and plenty new metal too. That’s going to be one well sorted car by the time you’re done. Remember to check that rear prop-shaft coupling. The outer steel ring gets seized to the plastic shoes that it’s supposed to float on and it’s stops the coupling from doing it’s job of dampening vibration, especially under acceleration in the higher gears. Looking forward to the next instalment already 😎
When your done with the rebuild , I would cover the underbody with wax or oil ..or otherwise some rocks later you will end up with the same rust in 2 years
Loving this build, it doesn't matter you can't see all the work you have done, YOU know its done. I agree with the exhaust, sometimes less is more, keep up the excellent work 🤙
I was literally just thinking about the last video and checked my subscription to see when it was. Was then watching something else when the notification dropped 😂. Unbelievable 😮. Clicked right away and wasn’t disappointed as always. Cheers.
nice to see back on the Tube Hamza, your work on the Passat wagon is brilliant, rust work takes lots of patience and you did a great job, it'll all turn out good once the rest of your parts get delivered, these are great videos 👍
I've loved watching your videos for a while now, and have seen your skills on the spanners grow massively!! Top work as always Hamza, and I can't wait for the next one 👍🏻
You're basically up to what Wheeler Dealers was with Ed China (before it went all American market). And on behalf of petrolheads everywhere, I salute your commit to pouring vast amounts of cash into an old car 😅
Loving this series, good fun to watch and all the parts look so satisfyingly fresh and new. I just fitted my MK6 Golf TDI with Bilstein B16's and they're crazy, really comfortable but still sporty.
Stick a resonated Milltek on her, I had one on my R32 and sounded amazing without the drone of a non res! Good luck with the rest of the build, coming along nicely!😎
Looking good, just a couple of tips, should give all the new bolts a light coating of grease makes it a lot easier to take apart in the future and lower the car onto the floor to torque up all the suspension nuts and bolts or if you have a gearbox stand jack up each corner individually and do it that way 👍
Well done Hamza! I’m super impressed with how the rear came out. It looks amazing. The quality of the videos are first class. Keep up the awesome content 🎉🎉🎉
Yo Hamza you are killing it with these videos, I would happily give my car to you fix any day of the week. You gotta get COBRA to come through with a cat back resonated system it would play into the Jekyll and Hyde theme.
R36 is looking minted! I say keep the standard exhaust system but change the rear mufflers. With the resonators in, it won't be raspy and it'll have a nice deep tone to it
A new watcher/subscriber.. this series is amazing. I just bought an R36 and it is being imported to Canada (should be here in January). Definitely going to refer back to these.
Really nice! its looks good! cool that you can afford all new hardware car is going to become brand new if you keep this up lol, i could never afford all of that! keep up the good work!
Great work Hamza. Wish I had your confidence to work on the underside of my vw t5.1 Transporter the way you've done to your Passat. Well done mate.👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I think you should upgrade the exhaust not only would it look better with some chunky tips hanging out that back but depending on the exhaust it could also sound deeper without being too raspy. You’ve really done a nice refurb so far on the rear look forward to the front 👍🏼
Looks good man ❤ i removed my mid box from the exhaust ( the big one ) and put some bigger end tips on it it sounds perfect in my opinion. Just an option to think about .
You have a good channel mate, always look forward to your uploads! 👍 Really looking forward to seeing the 130i on here again, I’d love to see a build similar to this Passat, with it being such a rare car 🙏
Very good job. Definitely stick with the stock exhaust, it isnt rotten and like you said the standard one sound good on the VR6. Rather spend the money in the engine bay.
Should have put antiseize on all the bolts though when mounting everything back. I just did the rear end on my bmw and i have lubed the heck out of every bolt so they will NEVER rust or be stuck again. Did this on my other bmw many years ago and its still a dream to work on all these years after driving in salt and snow. Definetly worth it!
A very good point sir. But remember never put copper grease (sometimes known as "anti seize")on steel bolts going into aluminium. General purpose grease is fine - and obviously keep it away from rubber bushes. Copper grease is maybe ok for steel into steel, but in some applications namely aluminium it wreaks havoc.
I got a e90 330i n52, and this is what I’ve been trying to do. But I just run out of cash to quickly. Iv spent most of the money just on the engine alone iv not even got to the subframes yet or under sealing, the engine is mint now bar the sump gasket, but will do that when im brave enough to drop the subframe on my drive. 😅
This was so satisfying to watch and wish one day I would be able to do something like this myself as it’s not so easy to get new parts in South Africa and costs an arm and a leg if you import and not to mention wait an eternity for it to arrive…that’s if it even arrives thanks to our postal service 😡 but I really liked this video and can’t wait for more 🙌🏽
Awesome video. I found acid based wheel cleaner works like magic on naked aluminium components, might want to give it a try. Love the channel by the way.
Superb work, Hamza, that rear end is looking beautiful! Should just leave it up there on the lift to gaze up at every day. Similar plans for the front? Glad you got a sponsor onboard as well, congrats!
Thank you! Yes will be replicating the same for the front, just waiting on a few more parts to arrive. Will give it all a going over with clear wax also
Ref the exhaust, I think you should get a stainless steel exhaust with OE mufflers and res’s, it would bug me and most likely you with how clean that underside is going to look if you use the original corroded exhaust
R36 Rear end is done! Definitely took me a lot longer than I expected to put it all back together, but a good learning experience nonetheless and will make all future projects like this a lot easier!
What can I say….
We live and we learn
Solid work Hamza 👌
Outstanding well done mate😊

Look how far you have come with your mechanical skills. Well done Hamza 👏.
Thank you 👌🏼 I’m enjoying the constant learning for sure (even if at times it puts me behind on uploads!)
@@TRHamzamerey bhai, it’s all about quality, not quantity 🙂
This was one of the most therapeutic videos I've watched in a while😅 Great work man
Glad the hear man thank you! Nice display pic with the facelift Rocco R 👌🏼
@@TRHamza thanks man! She’s my pride and joy. Would love to see one on the channel one day😁🙏🏾
The format of your videos are mad therapeutic. You don't just take stuff off and put it back on, you run us through your thought process as well. The restoration has been incredible as well. You just got stuck in and smashed it
An aftermarket exhaust with stock tips would be perfect, for the OEM look.
Quality of the videos going crazy bro. Progress looks unbelievable
Thank you bro! It’s getting there 🙌🏼
Mate this build has got to be my favourite so far. The level of detail is insane and it’s so satisfying watching all of it finally come together. Insane progress over the years. Looking forward to seeing this thing fully completed. Sick job man.
Thank you mate! Trying to make sure every detail is covered even if it’s a tiny screw holding a clip in place etc 👌🏼
The r36 estate is a great choice TR, looks like it’s going to be better than new when you finish. Love seeing an older car brought back to life, well done brother
Wow..I know you put in a lot of new parts, but the work you put in on wheelarch, underbody etc...make it look stunning....if front end comes up similar it will be amazing to see.well done Hamza
Thank you! The base prep is definitely key
Still amazes me how you aren’t at 1 mil subs with your quality of work. Loving the content

Love this OEM+ restoration series, much love.
Hamza a nice little coating of copper grease or silver grease on your bolts helps and will make it easier in the future,
When your done with the rebuild , I would cover the underbody with wax or oil ..or otherwise some rocks later you will end up with the same rust in 2 years
Loving this build, it doesn't matter you can't see all the work you have done, YOU know its done. I agree with the exhaust, sometimes less is more, keep up the excellent work 🤙
Quality mate!! That R36 is turning into one super clean build! LOVE IT! 👏
Excellent video . Looks like it’s just rolled off the factory production line.👍
Entered!! Getting married on Saturday - would be an amazing gift! Keep it up Mat! My favourite youtube!!🎉🎉🎉
I was literally just thinking about the last video and checked my subscription to see when it was. Was then watching something else when the notification dropped 😂. Unbelievable 😮. Clicked right away and wasn’t disappointed as always. Cheers.

Wow you gave the passat his life back! It looks better than new from the factory!
Drop links will slot in and bolt up fine with some load on the hubs... As for exhaust I would remove the mid cat and leave the rest oem 👌🏻
Some crazy work has gone into the rear, and you've set the bar high for the rest of it.
Looking forward to it 👏👍
I've loved watching your videos for a while now, and have seen your skills on the spanners grow massively!! Top work as always Hamza, and I can't wait for the next one 👍🏻
You are doing a wonderful job
It’s really enjoyable watching you make the r36 mint again. Great car and looking forward to the next episode.
Thank you
Awesome job. Great to see this absolute beaut getting new lease of life. Old is gold 👌.
The r36 is coming through really nice, love the upgrades and restoration, lots of surport from South Africa brother💥🤝💪🔥🙌
Thank you as always brother !
Well done, looking good can, t wait to see the next stage. Would like to see a new exhaust.
i can watch these kinda videos for hours. great work
Great work. I’d of fitted new abs sensors seeing as your are replacing most the others parts too
Smashing it with this build bro. I think a magnaflow exhaust will go nice on this wagon!!
You're basically up to what Wheeler Dealers was with Ed China (before it went all American market).

Absolutely upgrade the exhaust, it sounds good as is, but properly muffler aftermarket exhaust will make it sound even better.
Brilliant work so far, the rear end looks amazing 👍🏻
Another epic video, the detail and editing really does show, every episode is entertaining, keep it up Hamza!
Thank you! Glad to hear the extra effort can be noticed! 👌🏼
Well done, this restoration is going so well, the work you’ve done looks amazing.
I’m looking forward to more content on this car😊.

Quality work so far and can only imagine it will be for the rest, just love how clean it looks, could eat my tea off it !
I do like what you do and seem to be extremely thorough.
Great work mate. Impressed with your skills & knowledge & just generally giving all the jobs a good go
Yo Hamza you are killing it with these videos, I would happily give my car to you fix any day of the week. You gotta get COBRA to come through with a cat back resonated system it would play into the Jekyll and Hyde theme.
Perfect work. You give this car a second live.
R36 is looking minted! I say keep the standard exhaust system but change the rear mufflers. With the resonators in, it won't be raspy and it'll have a nice deep tone to it
Loving this series, restoring such an iconic car is Fantastic. Keep up the good work 🤘
You knock it mate I really liked this kind of content ! Just paint that drive shaft in satin black to finish it up
Absolutely one of the best TH-camrs put there! Hamza u sir are a legend! Love the attention to detail and quality work
Thank you sir! 👍🏼
A new watcher/subscriber.. this series is amazing.
I just bought an R36 and it is being imported to Canada (should be here in January). Definitely going to refer back to these.
use raceglaze alubright for corrosion removal, also for aluminium, makes it like new
Loving what you have done so far. Great content.
Makes my day whenever one of these is uploaded. Enjoying this series immensely. Keep it up bro
The recycling logo will be a refurbished caliper :)
Great video as always! 😀😎
Really nice! its looks good! cool that you can afford all new hardware car is going to become brand new if you keep this up lol, i could never afford all of that!
keep up the good work!
Great work Hamza. Wish I had your confidence to work on the underside of my vw t5.1 Transporter the way you've done to your Passat. Well done mate.👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Defo new exhaust, should of done braided lines aswell as you did all that excellent work
Great stuff man, love the fact its not a supercar youre working on, also never seen a youtuber plum own brake lines, ! Good going
Thanks! Was definitely a learning experience making those haha
I think you should upgrade the exhaust not only would it look better with some chunky tips hanging out that back but depending on the exhaust it could also sound deeper without being too raspy. You’ve really done a nice refurb so far on the rear look forward to the front 👍🏼

Amazing work and attention to detail! Love the effort you put in
Your Videos are incredible amazing. You are showing every detail! I dont have to skip like in every other boring TH-cam channel.
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying them 👌🏼
You have a good channel mate, always look forward to your uploads! 👍
Really looking forward to seeing the 130i on here again, I’d love to see a build similar to this Passat, with it being such a rare car 🙏
Go for a cat back with a resonator and back boxes to keep the deep tone 👌
Very good job.
Definitely stick with the stock exhaust, it isnt rotten and like you said the standard one sound good on the VR6. Rather spend the money in the engine bay.
Re watching this and the underneath looks great as if its my first time watching 💯💯
love r32 content, Plz get it mapped and some outside cinematics!
Great videos, personally I would hand torque all bolts then mark with a pen, plus change the drive shaft boots.
Been following this project from the beginning I actually can't wait to see it finished and ready.
Ive always wanted to do something like this...youve done an amazing job! I wouldnt want to put it on the road after all this effort 😂.
Really enjoying the R36 series and it's looking superb, well done.
Awesome work done, you should be proud! Leave the stock exhaust, nice sound for a classy but practical car. None of this pop and bang nonsense 😠
Should have put antiseize on all the bolts though when mounting everything back. I just did the rear end on my bmw and i have lubed the heck out of every bolt so they will NEVER rust or be stuck again. Did this on my other bmw many years ago and its still a dream to work on all these years after driving in salt and snow. Definetly worth it!

i reckon a sand blast cabinet would be a good idea
Great work mate! M539 Restoration vibes here!
I got a e90 330i n52, and this is what I’ve been trying to do. But I just run out of cash to quickly. Iv spent most of the money just on the engine alone iv not even got to the subframes yet or under sealing, the engine is mint now bar the sump gasket, but will do that when im brave enough to drop the subframe on my drive. 😅
Probably the best R36 estate on earth 😅Ive never seen one
My guy's knowledge has exploded! Love the videos bro
I feel like you should keep the original exhaust, and then just do it up. Maybe a mat black spray on it. obvs something that helps with heat aswell
Great video 👏🏻 looks amazing now, you gotta put a nice pipe on it, it’s the law with a VR6 👌🏻
Great video bro…..coming up awesome that R36 👍👍
Great to see the subs climbing so well as well man 💪
This was so satisfying to watch and wish one day I would be able to do something like this myself as it’s not so easy to get new parts in South Africa and costs an arm and a leg if you import and not to mention wait an eternity for it to arrive…that’s if it even arrives thanks to our postal service 😡 but I really liked this video and can’t wait for more 🙌🏽
Really a big job you made look effortless. Especially keeping in mind that you havent done a lot of things before 👌🏻 pretty cool
Loving this project, you’ve come very far, well deserved💯
Really nice work mate, great series that I’m really enjoying 😎
Looking absolute mint the rear end now great job👍
Awesome video. I found acid based wheel cleaner works like magic on naked aluminium components, might want to give it a try. Love the channel by the way.
Great work and a thoroughly detailed video. It's looking superb and an interesting build project. Thanks
Best assembly, plus new look oem finish video seen in a while, keep it up dude :-)
Superb work, Hamza, that rear end is looking beautiful! Should just leave it up there on the lift to gaze up at every day. Similar plans for the front? Glad you got a sponsor onboard as well, congrats!
PS. Spray some Normfest Protector (protective wax) on that shiny rear end componentry, she'll appreciate it, keep the rust away.
Thank you! Yes will be replicating the same for the front, just waiting on a few more parts to arrive. Will give it all a going over with clear wax also
What site did you use at 11:03 for factory R36 diagrams?
Brilliant series . Car looks amazing
Looks amazing! You should definitely change the exhaust tho
omg you have got a fantastic youtube channel I've been watching you for years now keep it up I look forwards to what comes next episode
Love following these vlogs 👍 It has come a long way!
Awesome video, so much can be learned from watching it. I’m picking up a Passat cc 3.6 next week
Ref the exhaust, I think you should get a stainless steel exhaust with OE mufflers and res’s, it would bug me and most likely you with how clean that underside is going to look if you use the original corroded exhaust
Looking forward for the first drive!
Great Video Hamza, Coming Along Nicely Now 😎
I'm really enjoying this series @TRHamza fantastic channel. Ty
