This bus began its restoration with us intact, accident free with only minimal dings and dents.  This bus was a true barn find.  

RESTORATION

Bus was completely disassembled inside and out, down to a shell and power washed.  All parts were inventoried and inspected for functionality and appearance.  90% of

 the original German parts were refurbished and reused.

BODYWORK

          Entire bus was sanded.  Any dings or dents were repaired.  3 coats of primer were applied to the body, then sanded and prepared for paint.

PAINT

This two-toned bus was painted with quality DuPont Nason automotive base coat/clear coat products.   The upper half and bumpers are painted in Jet Black.  Bottom half

and interior is a stunning metallic Candy Apple Red.  Then entire bus was painted with several coats of clear.

EXTERIOR

 

  All parts new and refurbished are carefully installed.  All rubber seals and gaskets were replaced with new.  Some of the news parts include; side mirrors, light lenses and housings,

 roof rack, antenna, and more.  Wheels are 17” rims with brand new low profile tires.    

INTERIOR

Interior cargo area has been covered with black leatherette vinyl prior to all glass (with new rubber) being installed.  Ceiling was coated with an automotive 

sound-deadening undercoat then lined with beautiful bamboo and black support slats.  Floor is also coated with undercoating, new plywood installed then covered

 with high traction area black carpet.  Seat stands, rear cargo and side panels are covered with a flexible automotive black carpet.  Dashboard and components were restored

to give a like-new appearance.  Stereo is a new Pioneer cd player with aux port and two speakers mounted in the rear seats.    

UPHOLSTERY

Upholstery has all new foam and leatherette vinyl.  Featuring perforated and pleated black tops, solid black sides and accenting red piping.  All rear seat bottom cushions and cup holder/armrest lift up for access t0 plentiful storage.  

UNDERCARRAIGE and MECHANICAL

Entire underbody was power washed and completely sealed with automotive rust preventative undercoating.  All mechanical and electrical components removed in

 disassembly are carefully inspected, tested and either repaired or replaced.   Some, but not all, new components include; misc. steering, brake, axle, shifter and

 suspension components as well as throttle, clutch, and brake cables.   So much more work went into the important mechanics of this bus there is too much to list, but

 feel free to ask any questions.     

ENGINE and TRANSMISSION

Powered by a 2.0 Liter or 2000cc "pancake" Porsche Boxer/914 motor which was disassembled and rebuilt.  Then meticulously reassembled.

  New Progressive Holley Weber carburetor and air cleaner,  battery, starter, etc.  Transmission shifts through all gears smoothly.  Entire clutch assembly is brand new. 

It gives us remarkable satisfaction to be able to take a 40 year old relic and put it back on the road to be enjoyed by all for many years to come.

This bus is a great investment and the rate at which they are increasing in value is striking.

 

We are known to take reasonable offers and remove the bus from auction without notice. 

Don't loose out on this beauty!!!!

All of them are discussed, plus a few more from Mike and David, and Mike rants a bit about a new VW Atlas commercial. The episode wraps up with the traditional doling out of Spend My Money buying advice, during which David briefly goes out into left field. (He's back now, don't worry.) The rundown is below. Remember, if you have a car-related question you'd like us to answer or you want buying advice of your very own, send a message or a voice memo to podcast at autoblog dot com.

VW Jetta TDI Value Edition drops price of diesel ownership to $21,295*

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Getting a new diesel-powered car just got a bit easier. Volkswagen has announced a new Jetta TDI Value Edition for 2014 that trims over $2,000 off the starting price of a Jetta TDI, making the most affordable diesel-powered car in America even more so. Prices start at $21,295 (*plus $820 for destination) for a Value Edition with a six-speed manual transmission, while a six-speed dual-clutch automatic adds $1,100 to the price. For that money, owners will get 140 horsepower, 236 pound-feet of torque and 42 miles per gallon on the freeway.
Despite the lower price and being down on content versus the previous base Jetta TDI, the Value Edition does come quite well equipped, with standard heated cloth seats, a six-speaker stereo with a Media Device Interface, satellite radio, and one-touch, up-down power windows on all four doors. Customers will be giving up some notable stuff though, including tilt/telescopic steering, Bluetooth streaming audio, power seats and a multi-function steering wheel.
Still, if you're aching to get your hands on a new TDI, this is now the most affordable way to do it. We suspect having the lower MSRP will help the German manufacturer make even further diesel-powered inroads here in the States, a land where they cleared their decks of over 100,000 TDI models in 2013.

Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo

Tue, 27 Sep 2011

This is the all-new Skoda Citigo, and if you're thinking that it looks rather familiar, that's because its Volkswagen-badged kin recently debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. That's right, the long-rumored Skoda version of Volkswagen's new Up! city car has finally arrived.
Buyers will have a choice of two 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines - one with 59 horsepower, the other with a 74 hp and a blistering 106 mph top speed - both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Powerful they are not, but these three-bangers should prove to be extremely efficient, with Skoda quoting fuel economy numbers of 62.8 and 60.1 miles per gallon, respectively (on the European cycle).
Being a Skoda, the Citigo will go on sale in its home market of the Czech Republic this fall, with the rest of Europe getting the car next summer. Follow the jump for Skoda's official release.
