1987 Vanagon Westfalia Full Camper Tdi Turbo Diesel 4 Speed Project Pop Top on 2040-cars
Waynesboro, Virginia, United States

Up for auction is my 1987 VW Vanagon Westfalia Full Camper. I bought this camper with the intention of dull a full resto/customization and TDI conversion. Unfortunately I'm in the process of buying a house and can't take the van with me. So someone is going to get a great deal. Do you want a turbo diesel camper but the 30 to 60k price tags blow your mind? This is the perfect project for you. I bought this as a running and driving camper, it was a little rough around the edges, nothing bad, just dirty with some dents and dings here and there, "lived in" would best describe it. I spent a summer enjoying the van, camping, took on a few trips to Maryland and Pennsylvania and drove it everyday for a few months. During that time it was a reliable little van and multiple people stopped me and tried to buy it. I began collecting parts in preparation for this project, I bought a set of larger 15 inch steel wheels, a much straighter sliding door (the one that was on the van had been dented pretty good) I've also got an extra hatch for the same reason, the extra hatch has a small dent at the top that should be easy to fix, much easier than the mangled original, an extra rear cabinet. And the coup-de-gras a complete 2000 VW Golf TDI donor car. The car is 100% complete, I bought it off a former coworker who used it as a daily driver until it was hit in the rear. Why bother tracking down all this stuff yourself? I've already done that work! As for what has been done to the van: I stripped it down in preparation for minor body work and paint, screws etc. are in labeled zip lock bags (i know how much of bear putting something together that wasn't organized is), as you can see from the pics some parts of the van were stripped to bare metal. I wanted to make sure there was no rust hiding on those panels! The seam where these vans are notorious for rotting is in what i would consider to be very good shape, there are some small holes inside, but I cleaned this area and was going to treat the rust with some POR. The trasmission was rebuilt prior to my purchase and has the taller 4th gear that you need with the TDI engine already installed. I have years work of paperwork for maint. etc. and even the original window sticker! Everything that came off the van is here and included, I've sold nothing, and won't sell anything separate. It's a package deal. If I wasn't moving somewhere that I can't work on it, I wouldn't be selling. The above pics are from when i first got the van, everything below is as it is right now. As well as pictures of the donor car. Get everything to build a TDI camper in one place! If you have any questions please ask. The van has a clean and clear title, the donor car will come with a bill of sale. As you can see, having a shipper pick this up will be difficult, well pretty much impossible, so have a way to come get it! Cash in person only. BE SERIOUS. DON'T WASTE MY TIME AND I WON'T WASTE YOURS. Thanks.

Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.
Anti-union group files lawsuit against VW and UAW
Fri, 14 Mar 2014The fight for unionization at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN, factory isn't letting up. Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board decided to allow anti-United Auto Workers employees at the plant the right to defend voting down the measure. Now, a group called the National Right to Work Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of five workers against VW and the UAW for allegedly working together to organize.
The group says in a release that it wants "to block further collusion between the company and the United Auto Workers." It alleges that VW forced workers to attend "mandatory pro-union meetings" and prevented managers from opposing. In a rebuttal on its website, the UAW called the claims "baseless" and said its actions were entirely legal.
One possible problem faces the carmaker in regards to the lawsuit. According to the Detroit Free Press, a recent US Court of Appeals ruling found that neutrality agreements like the one the business had with the UAW could be illegal if the company provided "things of value" to the union. The newspaper also claims that VW held a mandatory employee meeting concerning the election, but workers were free to leave during the UAW's presentation.
