THE USUAL "PROBLEMS" WITH AN OLD BUS

spots oil, not a ton, but does drip when parked. this may be fixed with a new oil pan bolt and seal. (easy fix)
if you are a novice vw driver the shifting won't be a problem, if you are new at it, shifting can get a little stubborn , just takes some time to get used to
the patterns.
1 tire has a slow leak, i just fill it up every so often... i don't drive it enough to go buy a new tire. (easy fix, and cheap)
found a rust through area under passengers feet area. previous owners filled it with bondo. i grinded it out. a clean cut with a piece of sheet metal will fix the problem,. hole is about 5"x3" . 
has minor surface rust, as any 40 yr old car will have. but no rust throughs on the exterior. no panels will need to be replaced.
sloping door is from another bus. the previous owner did not attach a proper sliding hanger i think. it might be missing something. its a little lose when you open it. and needs to be pushed up inter place when it closed. this is common when doors are changed! i was told by my mechanic it can be fixed. but it was fine for me. still opens and closes. 
i lost the keys at one point, had to get ignition key re made. therefore i did not replace the door keys. to obtain door keys the door handle wil need to be taken to a locksmith to re key. the ignition cost me $20 for a new key, doors will be cheap as well!! 
no keys for hatch and engine lid. you can replace locking mechanism , very cheap . busdepot.com , easy fix
a few dents that i had filled with bondo, nothing major. 

bus originally came with a pancake engine. a 1600 dual port was installed, conversion tin was never installed. therefore there is a gap in the engine compartment, my mechanic said this is not necessary , more air flow gets to engine which is good considering it is air-cooled,  conversion tin is a personal preference item, and i chose not to purchase . does not affect condition, only cosmetic addition


OVERALL 

it is a good bus. in good condition for its age. turn key and ready to drive every day!!!   unfortunately i do not drive it enough with my schedule and don't have the time to give it that little sparkle that it deserves. 
drive as is , or put a little time and effort to get it looking clean!!

VW Chattanooga plant very close to UAW representation

Tue, 11 Nov 2014

After months of fighting from both sides, it looks like the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, might unionize under the United Auto Workers after all. According to a letter acquired by The Associated Press, VW and the UAW reportedly struck a deal last spring where the union agreed to stop its challenge of the organization vote with the National Labor Relations Board to help clear the way for the CrossBlue to be produced in Tennessee. In exchange, the automaker would recognize the UAW at the plant. Leaders of the Local 42 at the facility reportedly signed the letter.
It seems that such an agreement would clear the way for the factory to unionize after months of dispute. According to The Detroit News, under Tennessee law, workers aren't required to join the organization. Although, that might not be a problem. As of a few months ago, Local 42 already claimed to have signed around 700 of the plant's roughly 1,500 workers.
Controversy has constantly swirled around the possible unionization at the Chattanooga plant. The UAW held its official decision in February and lost 712 to 626. However, there were allegations of intense political pressure to make sure the ballot failed. A later report also found that VW was offered $300 million in incentives well before the vote to make sure things progressed to the "satisfaction of the State of Tennessee," but the deal was later retracted. In July, the UAW opened Local 42 on the campus in hopes of signing up a majority of the workforce by volunteering to be a part of it.
