Up for sell is our 1970 Westy. We are the second owners and have been restoring her for over a year but are now forced to sell her due to our new baby being born who btw has "colic". Needless to say we simply don't have the time to enjoy her or get her completely finished :(

She is 95% complete w a few items left. I will try to list everything that needs finished along w the more than 18k invested in her.

We started w taking her down to bare metal and replacing the battery tray area and windshield w new sheet metal. She was then painted w a 2 stage Dupont paint job; more than 9k spent on paint and body work alone. The top was stripped as well and repainted w marine grade fiberglass paint. Replaced the top w a new Go-Westy hemp temp, replaced all seals and kept all the original VW glass accept for the back drivers side and a brand new PGW windshield. Fresh rebuilt 1600 cc motor will less than 350 miles: valves will need to be readjusted at 500 miles by new owner if sold, most VW owners will know this :). New interior seat covers, panels, kick panels, back seats and jumper seat. New handmade cabinets made by a local wood shop here in St. Pete. They were made out of maple then stained and sealed. We were able to find 1/8 birch plywood like the original and stained and sealed those as well. New Hankook rubber all the way around as well. New Alpine CD w Ipod adapter and new pioneer speakers. We also have the original cabinets and sink that I will include. We will also include a brand new set of Kadron dual carbs that we were going to put on but again we simply have not gotten to it. The wiring harness has also been replaced as well as the dash has been completely gone thru. Forgot to mention it also has a tow hitch and bar although we have never used it! You could easily pull a small trailer behind it for camping etc....

What needs finished:

Z-bed and cabinets need screwed down but I was going to wait obviously until I finished the floor. I have two panels that need finished; rear door hatch and sliding door. I will try to complete before the sale but again we are dealing w running a restaurant day to day and a baby w Colic. The floor needs completed which is an easy job for anyone w basic wood working knowledge. We have a brand new seal that goes around the inside of the pop-top opening as well, this holds some of the panels in place as well, it just needs glued down. We also have the kids cot along w brand new canvass that just needs to be installed then screwed down in the tent area above. (also have the original kids cot and frame that goes over the front seats, rare to have the original :)

Really sad to be even listing this on Ebay and we would really love to see it go to a family that will appreciate her. She really is a piece of art in our eyes and its gonna be heart breaking to see her go.

Forgot to mention that we are currently having to relocate our restaurant after more than 2 years to make way for a big corporate box store coming in :(

Simply put, other things have become more important unfortunately.

Thank you!

Lincoln Aviator returns, VW ponders pickups, and Subaru Forester endures

Mon, Apr 2 2018

NEW YORK – Volkswagen is taking a hard look at a pickup truck, the Lincoln Aviator is back, and you love old Subarus (we'll explain). The New York Auto Show returned last week with flair and a wide range of promising reveals. Let's break down some of the big news, plus a few things you might have missed. News: Ford is fortifying Lincoln with the Aviator SUV Views: Doing a mid-size SUV is obvious. Calling it the Aviator wasn't. I like it. Using Navigator design cues, this thing looks the part and should give Lincoln some energy and sales volume. Not playing in the midsize SUV segment has been a mistake for Ford's luxury brand, and the Aviator should fill a much-needed hole. Props to Lincoln for dusting off the Aviator name, most recently used on a rebadged Ford Explorer built in 2003-2005. It sounds classy and historic, like something from 1930s, even though it only dates to the tail end of the " Friends" era. Speaking of names, when the MKC gets a new one, Lincoln should dust off Zephyr, a moniker it actually used in the '30s and then briefly in the early 2000s. Why use the Aviator name? Jim Farley, Ford's president of global markets, said it's about reminding consumers that Ford has traditionally built strong SUVs. "I think in a way the legacy is falling in love with what we do best," he said. "We wanted to go back to our roots. We know how to do this well." Farley also said the Aviator could prove to be Lincoln's bestseller. The Aviator was well-received in New York, earning our Best in Show award and garnering cautiously optimistic reactions from some analysts. "Lincoln ran this experiment once before ... differences in the market conditions, stronger differentiation and appetite for utility vehicles may prove a different story for this Aviator," IHS analyst Stephanie Brinley said. View 19 Photos News: VW surprised the car world with the Atlas Tanoak pickup concept Views: Good move. VW should build this. The concept is based on a longer version of the Atlas platform and would take aim at the midsize truck segment. VW is using this prototype to "gauge the reactions" of automotive influencers, but make no mistake, the Tanoak is totally doable. Using Atlas bones and mechanicals punched up with rugged styling and some soft-road capability, the Tanoak would grow VW's portfolio in a smart way. The Atlas Cross Sport concept, also revealed in New York, signals that Atlas expansion is already underway.

Bentley Bentayga bodies to be built in Bratislava

Sun, Apr 12 2015

Volkswagen's plant in Bratislava, Slovakia, has come a long way. After getting its start in 1971 by subcontracting the production of Skoda-branded vehicles, the plant was purchased by VW in 1991, where it was quickly put to further good use as it began producing Volkswagen Passat models for export. More recently, Bratislava has become a bastion for SUVs, assembling the Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne, in addition to the VW Touareg. Color us unsurprised, then, to learn that the Bentley Bentayga, which will be built atop the same large SUV platform as its cousins from Audi, Porsche and VW, will also be used for at least part of the production of Bentley's first SUV. Surely, though, one of the hallmarks of the Bentley brand is that its cars are handmade in England. Won't the Bentley-buying populace feel slighted by production in Slovakia? Not to worry. As is the case with the Porsche Cayenne, all that will be produced in Slovakia is the Bentayga's body. According to a report from Automotive News, bodies for the Bentayga will be shipped from Bratislava to Crewe, England, where they will be finished into fully operational vehicles. In order to accommodate the additional work, VW will reportedly invest 500 million euros into the plant in Slovakia and hire hundreds of workers.

Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.
