This was restored with a lot of love and time. Before I list all the things that was done to it, let me discuss my approach as you will see that affects the restoration.
Because parts are so hard to find and this is a 40+ year old car, I tried to repair, store any existing original parts than getting new replacement parts that might not be OEM. In addition, any rust was aggressively sanded off plus I soak the area with RustGone that I bought at an automative paint supplier. This way I know rust will not be a problem. Youtube videos: Exterior: http://youtu.be/DEkFn2IfSHs Interior: http://youtu.be/tJQrc9G0vqM Start/drive: http://youtu.be/N2r3q3xqyxg Items done: Cosmetic/Radio - Brand new 7 year warranty 2-tone paint job by Maco - All flooring and bottom sidings are coating with automative truck-bed lining to seal off any scratches and rusts. It's suppose to be anti-scratch. - After that coat is applied, carpets have been installed on all floor surface - All side panels are brand new - All sidings are brand new - Ceiling is brand new - Brand new upholstery for both front seat and rear seat. - All locks are keyed the same and work properly. All doors lock as needed. - Ignition is keyed to a new ignition key for double security and stronger key (done by AD Buggie) - New radio + speakers (will play MP3s, AUX port in front, LCD screen) - Brand new headlight fixtures (upgrade because old ones are too dim [actually replaced fixture + new bulbs]). - Brand new headlight rims - Brand new turning signals and gasket - Brand new side mirrors - Brand new retractable red seat belt Engine: - T4 motor with simplified/upgraded single carb (easy to change out air filter and service) - All leaks (by replacing seals) are fixed by AD buggie. Your wife will be happy this is done so your driveway stay (fairly) clean. - Motor runs strong and got good torque. I drive up and down the hill every time I go out; no problem with power. - Heat shield in place - Transmission shifts as it should - Extended exhaust chrome (new) tip to avoid carbon build-up on bumper or side of bus - New Alternator - New Regulator - New Starter Electrical: - ALL ELECTRICAL WORKS!!!! Why? Because I spent $800 at a VW auto shop just to re-do all the wiring. Each plug is examined and redone so all electrical works. Yes, ALL! It was a 10 hour job done by PowerHaus in Torrance on Del Amo. Suspension & Tires - Inner & Outer Tie Rods are replaced (and alignment done) - Tension Rod + Ball joint both side replaced - Font shocks replaced - Break-fluid flushed and all break serviced & checked - Tires have excellent tread-ware - Rims are in excellent condition with chrome (actually chrome) hub cabs There are also other smaller things done that I won't mention but you'll see the difference in person. This is my personal car so I am proud of all the work I did (I am not a dealer). Being a 40 year old car, there are things that can still be done to it to make it even better: - Steering wheel can be replaced. It's just old but works just fine. - Front windshield. It is old and got beaten down by the sun overtime. Still ok and drivable. - Rear side window. It has some smear on it that I cannot get off. Still ok and drivable, no physical damage to window actually.. just cosmetic. - If you are doing window, I would replace the window seals as well.. but there's no water leak from these seals so they hold up just fine. - Door molding. The old ones are just old and falling apart.. but the car has such low insulation value and does go fast, there's really no statistical benefit besides cosmetic. - Front windshield wiper blade. Just old. - Small things that I can't think of but being an old car you just have to keep working on the little things... I bring up all these points because I don't want you to find something you didn't expect. I had a buyer who expected me to discount the car because of those points above to an unreasonable price that I simply walked away. Here's the point: if you expect this 40 year old classic car to function and perform like a brand new car with all the features of a modern car, this is not your car and you won't be happy with this car. I have a lot of interest about the car; please try to ask questions pertaining to making a deal. If you are interested in VW Buses in general, go to a forum.

Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.
Recharge Wrap-up: VW consumption down 24%, BAIC opens EV R&D in CA
Mon, Sep 14 2015The Biofuel Infrastructure Partnership will provide grant funding to 21 states to help improve consumers' access to renewable fuels. Tom Vilsack, Secretary of the US Department of Agriculture announced the funding, which will help retailers purchase and install the equipment necessary to dispense fuels like E85 and other higher ethanol blends. Groups such as the American Coalition for Ethanol, Growth Energy, Prime the Pump, and the Renewable Fuels Association came forward to applaud the announcement. "This assistance in building out retail infrastructure is not only good for the American farmer but it is also great for the American motorist who will now have more opportunities to buy higher octane fuel at a lower cost," says Prime the Pump Chairman Ray Defenbaugh. Read more from Domestic Fuel. Volkswagen has reduced resource consumption of its vehicle production by 24.3 percent since 2011. As part of its "Think Blue. Factory." program, the automaker has implemented a series of environmental efforts (a number VW puts at 3,400 measures) at its factories worldwide. Examples include optimizing shut-down schedules, reducing solvent emissions, energy recovery programs, and recycling paper, plastic, and water. Read more at Green Car Congress.
