 Nice Superbeetle car was pretty much 98% rustfree before restoration southern car always in Georgia as far as i know.  Car was stripped for paint all fenders off interior out  all windows out hood and trunk lid off.  There was a little rust in the pans which were original they were repaired by welding and some new heater channel section welded in by battery area.  We did not replace pans only repaired them they are in very sound shape.  Body was prepped for paint and painted at the local Spray-n-Glow with urethane enamel single stage.  Car was painted 2x by them to get it nice.  It is not a show winner it is no ta  perfect job but it is pretty darn nice especially from a few feet away.  It is painted the original color Clementine orange and all the door jams were redone the underside of the hood under the hood and inside the trunk lid.  the pans were repainted and undercoated inside and out to prevent rust returning.  New carpet headliner new seat coverings new padding new door panels .  Windows put back in with new rubber all lights put back on.  Then taken to Vw shop to get all lights and signals working properly.  I don't think horn works but interior light works.  The blower does not work.  Heat connected and working.  Engine is a rebuild by PO and all I know is it runs well doesn't smoke and has good power.  It is nicely detailed. All fuel lines and fuel tank cleaned and or replaced as needed.Brake lines replaced and master  cylinder with help from VW shop they  work very well and stay firm to the foot.  The clutch was replaced and the rear main seal to curb the VW spot but she still leaks a drop when parked.  Car driveable and running well.  No front end shimmy. Very presentable driver with hardly a nick or scratch on it. 404-435-6943 for questions.  NOTE CAR SOLD WITH BILL OF SALE ONLY WE ARE LEGALLY REGISTERED OWNERS BUT TITLE LOST ALONG THE WAY BY PREVIOUS OWNER AND WE CANNOT GET A REPLACEMENT IN GEORGIA SO DON'T ASK CHECK WITH YOUR STATE TO SEE IF YOU CAN GET IT LICENSED.  BY THE WAY CAR IS OLD WILL IT MAKE IT TO MICHIGAN?????? MAYBE MAYBE NOT IT IS OLD IF YOU ARE MECHANICALLY INCLINED YES.

VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.

Regulators consider adding more carmakers to Takata recall

Tue, Sep 29 2015

Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has been getting a lot of press recently, but the Takata airbag inflator affair could be grabbing headlines again soon. According to Bloomberg, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is contemplating an expansion to the campaign that could add seven automakers to the 12 already affected. They are Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Spartan Motors, Suzuki, Tesla, Volvo Trucks, and VW Group. To be clear, there's no recall for any of these automakers, yet. The government is simply asking for a full list of vehicles that each of them have with Takata-supplied inflators containing ammonium nitrate propellant. The agency is concerned this substance could play a roll in the ruptures. "NHTSA is considering not only whether to issue an administrative order that would coordinate the remedy programs associated with the current Takata recalls, but also whether such an order should include expansion of the current recalls," the letters say. All seven can be viewed, here. From a report supplied by Takata, the government already knows that the company supplied 887,055 inflators with ammonium-nitrate propellant to VW and 184,926 of them to Tesla. In an incident during the summer, a side airbag allegedly burst in a 2015 VW Tiguan. In early September, NHTSA put out a revised report that there were 23.4 million inflators to be replaced in 19.2 million vehicles in the US. An earlier accounting from the agency had about 34 million of the parts in 30 million cars. High humidity is still believed to be among the biggest risk factors for the ruptures. Although, if ammonium nitrate also gets the blame, some already recalled models might need to be repaired again. Related Video:

VW adding particulate filters to gas engines

Wed, Aug 3 2016

Volkswagen is working hard to overcome the PR disaster that is its diesel emissions scandal, and part of its efforts is focusing, weirdly, on petrol engines. Starting in June 2017, the embattled German automaker will add particulate filters to the gas-powered Volkswagen Tiguan and Audi A5. The change will eventually impact nearly every direct-injected gas engine the VW Group makes. Audi? Particulate filter. Seat? Particulate filter. Even Bentley is going to get the tech, all in a bid to reduce soot emissions by 90 percent. In fact, by 2022 VAG expects 7 million of its vehicles to boast the emissions-cleaning tech, which has long been a fixture on diesel engines. "Following increases in efficiency and lower CO2 output, we are now bringing about a sustained reduction in the emission levels of our modern petrol engines by fitting particulate filters as standard," Volkswagen Group research and design boss Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn said in a statement. "In the future, all models will be equipped with the latest and most efficient SCR catalytic converter technology." VW's initial rollout focuses on the 1.4-liter, turbocharged Tiguan and the 2.0-liter, turbocharged A5. Considering the popularity of the 2.0-liter across the VW range, we'd expect it's only a matter of time before VW expands its particulate filters tech to additional gas-powered vehicles.
