This car is ready to use right now. Get your vert driving time in before the summer ends!

3 years ago the car was brought to my shop for a suspension drop, disk brakes, new interior and a buff / polish.

Highlights include:

6" beam, with dropped spindles and Porsche pattern disk brakes in the front. Rebuilt stock rear brakes with Porsche pattern adapters in the rear were eventually used as the rear disk kit we planned on using has clearance issues.

New interior includes, blasted and painted seat frames with new padding and covers, new German Square weave carpet the rubber mats which were in good original shape were saved and re-used. Door panels and headliner were also in good original shape and left alone.

The paint is an older respray that is darn close to the original color. When we had it at the shop a few years ago it was polished out and it looks awesome. There are some rock chips, scratches, dents, and dings, but nothing major, and the car car has never been hit / wrecked.

The top is decent, not perfect, but it keeps the sun off you when needed and will kept small amounts of water out as well. Definitely not "water proof" by any stretch.

All window frames are in good shape and operate as they should, door seals and other rubber pieces are in nice shape, scraper rubber could be replaced, but works just fine with the overall "original look" of the car.

Pans / battery tray and other usual vert "problem areas" are clean and solid.

When our customer decided he wanted to sell the car, we did not hesitate to buy it. Knowing the work we put into it on top of how nice and solid it was beforehand, it was a no-brainer.

When we got it to the shop the stock 40hp engine was out and the stock trans had been replaced with a 4.12 R&P Pro Street Rancho box with mid mount in preparation for a larger engine with more HP.

We decided the original 40hp engine was the best way to go for a summer driver, so we went through the top end, converted it to 12v, rebuilt the carb, added a new fuel pump, new fuel lines, and a full tune up. Now it is a driver. The fires up and idles every time. On the colder days, the choke even works as it should!. At some point a full rebuild or engine upgrade might be worthwhile, but for now it's great!

The Pro Street trans was left alone in case someone wanted to "go bigger" in the future, but it works just fine with the 40hp too. Cruising the freeway at +/- 60 MPH is no problem. Around town driving is even better.

Wipers and radio have been converted to 12v as well and work great.
Horn works as well!

The car will be sold with repro chrome Fuchs. 4.5's in the front with 125's and 5.5's in the rear with 195/60's.
Tire are Firestones all the way around.

Volkswagen plans expansion, tech center in Chattanooga

Tue, Apr 7 2015

Volkswagen is expanding its growing Chattanooga, TN, factory by even more than the original plans after winning the local government's approval. The German automaker announced its intention last year to invest $900 million to add 538,000 square feet of floor space to the plant, which would add 2,000 new jobs. The company just went back to the city for permission to increase the expansion by a further 130,153 square feet for an even larger body shop. The extra construction is estimated to cost around $18 million. VW spokesperson Catharina Mette described the decision as "a cost-saving option," to Autoblog. "Taking this action now saves money while giving us flexibility as we integrate the MQB platform in the future," she said. By the end of 2016, the Chattanooga plant will begin production of VW's forthcoming crossover, which should look similar to the Cross Coupe GTE concept. VW has further plans for the research, development, and planning center near the factory. According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, some of the designers and engineers will start work at a temporary facility there next week. A permanent location will open in 2017 with a test track and space to perform crash evaluations. The engineering center is meant to speed up the rate of vehicle development to bring models to the North American market more quickly."This will be the central entity in all the US, and hopefully all of North America," Matthias Erb, who oversees the center, said to the newspaper.

German authorities claim 2.8 million VW diesels evaded testing

Fri, Sep 25 2015

While Volkswagen admits that there are 11 million diesel vehicles around the world that may be able to evade emissions testing, investigations by government authorities are starting to provide a glimpse of where some of those actually are. According to German Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt, there are 2.8 million VWs in the country with the tech to cheat environmental rules, Reuters reports. In the US, at least 482,000 cars are believed to be affected. German regulators claim not knowing about the automaker's emissions testing evasions until quite recently, and Dobrindt didn't begin a fact-finding mission into the situation until just this week. Environmental agencies around the world have also begun their own inquiries into the scandal, including in Canada, South Korea, and many countries in Europe. In the US, where the story originally broke, the Department of Justice has started a criminal investigation into VW, and a maximum fine from the Environmental Protection Agency could tally $18 billion. The automaker has responded so far by setting aside about $7.3 billion to fix the affected models. CEO Martin Winterkorn is also already gone, and Porsche boss Matthias Muller is taking the top spot. The company's next moves still aren't clear, though. "VW needs to be very open about what has happened, how it was possible that this could happen to make sure that this never happens again in the future," an anonymous, top shareholder in the company said to Reuters.
