HERE IS A RARE AND UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY A ONE OF A KIND PRISTENE RESTORED CUSTOM VW NAMED "BIG RED"!RESTORED BY INDUSTRY LEADER "BARRAS CUSTOMS"! AND RESTORED RIGHT, FAR FROM WHAT SOME PEOPLE HERE THAT DESCRIBE THEIR CAR AS SO CALLED "RESTORED". BIG RED IS BRAND NEW FROM FRONT TO BACK, BOTTOM TO TOP AND INSIDE TO OUT. NOT ONLY IS EVERY SINGLE NUT, BOLT AND WASHER BRAND NEW, EVERY HOLE HAS BEEN TAP AND DIED. NO EXPENSE SPARED WITH NOTHING BUT THE BEST QUALITY PARTS USED THAT IS AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET. AND THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS SECOND TO NONE. I HAVE ALL THE RECIEPTS AND PHOTOGRAPHIC DOCUMENTATION OF EVERY BIT OF RESTORATION PROCESS. THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC FIRST PLACE TROPHY WINNER SHOW STOPPER.
BIG RED BODY:
I STARTED WITH A SOLID 1974 BEETLE THAT DIDNT HAVE A BIT OF RUST IN THE BODY WHAT SO EVER. SEPERATED THE BODY FROM THE CHASIS AND MOUNTED IT ON A ROTISSERY STYLE FRAME. EVERY SINGLE PIECE, PART, NUT, BOLT, ECT WAS REMOVE FROM THE CAR. ENTIRE CAR WAS BROUGHT DOWN TO BARE METAL. FRONT AND REAR APRONS WERE CUT OFF IN ORDER TO INSTALL BRAND NEW, HEAVY DUTY, RARE NARROW EYE BAJA KIT. TWO THICK METAL SUPPORT BEAMS WERE WELDED IN THE FRONT FOR EXTRA STRENGTH, SAFTEY AND MOUNTING FOR HEADLIGHTS, HOOD PINS, HORNS AND ASSESORIES. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS MOCKED UP FOR THAT PERFECT FITTING AND THEN BROKE BACK DOWN AGAIN FOR PAINT. NEXT CAME A SEALING EURO ETCH PRIMER OF TOP QUALITY. AND THEN WEEKS OF ENDLESS SANDING FOR THAT AWARD WINNING SHOW QUALITY FINISH. THE VW THEN GOT TRUCKED OVER TO A COMMERCAIL PAINT BOOTH. AS I HAVE PICTURED, THE GUTTED BODY AND ALL THE FENDERS, HOOD, APRON, GLOVE BOX, ECT PARTS RECIEVED MULTIPLE COATS OF A GERMAN RED BASE COATS. NEXT CAME MULTIBLE COATS OF TOP QUALITY, LIFE TIME WARRENTY EURO TRANSTAR TRANSLUCUENT CLEAR COATS. BEST MONEY CAN BUY. LAYED DOWN LIKE GLASS, NOT EVEN WET SANDED OR BUFFED, DIDNT NEED IT. I SPENT OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS JUST ON THE PRODUCT TO PAINT THE CAR AND IT SHOWS!
BIG RED CHASIS:
AS PICTURED, THE CHASIS WAS TOTALLY RESTORED AS WELL. EVERTHING WAS TAKEN OFF FROM FRONT END, SUSPENSION TO TRANSMISSION, ECT. EVEN THOUGH THE FLOORS WERE NOT TOO BAD, I PUT BRAND NEW EARLY MODEL FLOOR PANS IN TO MATCH THE CALIBER OF THE RESTORATION. AND OF COURSE THEY WERE WELDED PROPERLY AND THEN RECIEVED SEAM SEALER ALONG ALL THE SEAMS. TRANNY WAS REMOVED, CLEANED, DRAINED, FILLED WITH NEW GEAR OIL AND THEN PAINTED. NEW TRANNY AND MOTOR OEM FACTORY RUBBER MOUNTS INSTALLED, NEW AXELS AND ALL FOUR BRAND NEW COIL OVER SHOCKS INSTALLED. EVERY BRAKE COMPONENT WAS REPLACED WITH NEW OEM FACTORY PARTS FROM DUAL MASTER CLYINDER, TWO NEW BRAKE LIGHT SWITCHES, FOUR BRAND NEW WHEEL CYLINDERS, NEW RESIVIOUR, TO ALL NEW BRAKE SHOES. NEEDLESS TO SAY, SHE WILL STOP ON A DIME. FRONT END WAS REMOVED, SERVICED, SEALS GREASED, CLEANED, PAINTED AND RE INSTALLED WITH ALL NEW TIE RODS AND TIE ROD ENDS, STEERING STABILIZER, AND EVEN NEW STEERING SHAFT COUPLER. NEXT, I HAD LOCAL GOOD YEAR DO A FULL WHEEL ALIGNMENT INCLUDING CAMBER AND CASTER FOR THAT SMOOTH STRAIGHT RIDE. HAD PEDAL ASSEMBLY REMOVED, CLEANED, SERVICED, PAINTED AND INSTALLED WITH NEW ROLLER GAS PEDAL. THEN THE BODY FINALLY MET THE CHASIS AGAIN WITH ALL NEW FACTORY OEM GRADE EIGHT BOLTS WITH THE SQUARE WASHERS, NEW BODY RUBBERS AND BRAND NEW PAN GASKET.

Recharge Wrap-up: Zero takes electric motorcycles to cop expos, Chevy Volt powers dealership's Internet
Fri, Oct 3 2014Zero Motorcycles will be at three law enforcement conferences this month, including COPSWEST Training and Expo, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Law Enforcement Vehicle Test and Emergency Vehicle Product Expo and International Association of Chiefs of Police Expo. Zero will display its recently debuted 2015 line of electric motorcycles at the events including the new FXP, a police-duty version of it FX "Stealthfighter." Zero also offers the MMX, SP and DSP for police and military use. Learn more about the events in the press release below. Volkswagen Group CEO Martin Winterkorn told European regulators that more stringent emissions standards too soon will be a major problem for automakers. He says that such moves could prove "fatal" for an auto industry that is still working to develop cleaner vehicles. "Every gram of CO2 that we save in our European fleet costs our group almost 100 million euros," says Winterkorn, "100 million that we have to invest in advance, without knowing when these investments pay off." He says that already creating emissions targets beyond those set for 2020 could harm European automakers competing globally. Read more at Automotive News Europe. When a Detroit Chevrolet dealership lost its Internet connection, it turned to one of its Chevy Volts for a temporary fix. After the regular connection at Buff Whelan Chevrolet went down, it plugged in a Volt showroom model equipped with 4G LTE, and used its connection to resume business. The car can handle up to seven connected devices, so the team used a Malibu to connect the rest of its computers. When a customer asked why the Volt was on, the team explained the whole situation, leading to one impressed customer. Read more at Automotive News.

The UK votes for Brexit and it will impact automakers
Fri, Jun 24 2016It's the first morning after the United Kingdom voted for what's become known as Brexit – that is, to leave the European Union and its tariff-free internal market. Now begins a two-year process in which the UK will have to negotiate with the rest of the EU trading bloc, which is its largest export market, about many things. One of them may be tariffs, and that could severely impact any automaker that builds cars in the UK. This doesn't just mean companies that you think of as British, like Mini and Jaguar. Both of those automakers are owned by foreign companies, incidentally. Mini and Rolls-Royce are owned by BMW, Jaguar and Land Rover by Tata Motors of India, and Bentley by the VW Group. Many other automakers produce cars in the UK for sale within that country and also export to the EU. Tariffs could damage the profits of each of these companies, and perhaps cause them to shift manufacturing out of the UK, significantly damaging the country's resurgent manufacturing industry. Autonews Europe dug up some interesting numbers on that last point. Nissan, the country's second-largest auto producer, builds 475k or so cars in the UK but the vast majority are sent abroad. Toyota built 190k cars last year in Britain, of which 75 percent went to the EU and just 10 percent were sold in the country. Investors are skittish at the news. The value of the pound sterling has plummeted by 8 percent as of this writing, at one point yesterday reaching levels not seen since 1985. Shares at Tata Motors, which counts Jaguar and Land Rover as bright jewels in its portfolio, were off by nearly 12 percent according to Autonews Europe. So what happens next? No one's terribly sure, although the feeling seems to be that the jilted EU will impost tariffs of up to 10 percent on UK exports. It's likely that the UK will reciprocate, and thus it'll be more expensive to buy a European-made car in the UK. Both situations will likely negatively affect the country, as both production of new cars and sales to UK consumers will both fall. Evercore Automotive Research figures the combined damage will be roughly $9b in lost profits to automakers, and an as-of-yet unquantified impact on auto production jobs. Perhaps the EU's leaders in Brussels will be in a better mood in two years, and the process won't devolve into a trade war. In the immediate wake of the Brexit vote, though, the mood is grim, the EU leadership is angry, and investors are spooked.
Autoblog Minute: VW finds CO2 'irregularities', Takata dropped by automakers, SEMA recap
Fri, Nov 6 2015Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal gets a new wrinkle, US regulators hit Takata Corporation with a substantial fine, and we head to Las Vegas for a look at tuner paradise at the 2015 SEMA show. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal gets a new wrinkle. US regulators issue a significant fine to Takata Corporation. And we take a peek inside tuner paradise at the 2015 SEMA show. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. The VW diesel emissions scandal, first brought to light in September, gets a new wrinkle, as an internal investigation by the German automaker revealed [00:00:30] irregularities in CO2 emissions that could affect approximately 800,000 vehicles. VW estimates the issue could pose a 2-billion euro economic risk. VW claims that most of the vehicles affected have diesel engines, but industry analysts say a 1.4-liter gas engine is also affected. VW says that fuel consumption figures were set too low during the CO2 certification process. During all of this, sales of some diesel-powered Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche models [00:01:00] have been halted. Takata Corporation is back in the news in connection with its deadly airbag scandal. Federal regulators fined Takata $70 million. If the parts supplier does not comply, the fine could balloon to $200 million. Takata was also dropped this week by its biggest customer, Honda. And now, Toyota and Mazda will be following Honda's lead in dropping Takata. We're also hearing that Mitsubishi and Subaru are considering a switch in air-bag inflator suppliers. SEMA 2015 [00:01:30] came and went. We saw offerings from Mopar, like the AWD Challenger concept. Honda unveiled a Ridgeline that it will race at the Baja 1000, which gives us a hint at what future production model could look like. The celebrity presence was also felt in Vegas as it always is. Kid Rock brought a Duramax Diesel Chevy Silverado, and Acura restored and presented Ludacris with his now famous 1993 Acura Legend. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to come back on Saturday for my full recap, [00:02:00] where I'll have some added insight into Hyundai's foray into the luxury sector. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore. Autoblog Minute is a short-form video news series reporting on all things automotive.
