Up for sell is our 1970 Westy. We are the second owners and have been restoring her for over a year but are now forced to sell her due to our new baby being born who btw has "colic". Needless to say we simply don't have the time to enjoy her or get her completely finished :(

She is 95% complete w a few items left. I will try to list everything that needs finished along w the more than 18k invested in her.

We started w taking her down to bare metal and replacing the battery tray area and windshield w new sheet metal. She was then painted w a 2 stage Dupont paint job; more than 9k spent on paint and body work alone. The top was stripped as well and repainted w marine grade fiberglass paint. Replaced the top w a new Go-Westy hemp temp, replaced all seals and kept all the original VW glass accept for the back drivers side and a brand new PGW windshield. Fresh rebuilt 1600 cc motor will less than 350 miles: valves will need to be readjusted at 500 miles by new owner if sold, most VW owners will know this :). New interior seat covers, panels, kick panels, back seats and jumper seat. New handmade cabinets made by a local wood shop here in St. Pete. They were made out of maple then stained and sealed. We were able to find 1/8 birch plywood like the original and stained and sealed those as well. New Hankook rubber all the way around as well. New Alpine CD w Ipod adapter and new pioneer speakers. We also have the original cabinets and sink that I will include. We will also include a brand new set of Kadron dual carbs that we were going to put on but again we simply have not gotten to it. The wiring harness has also been replaced as well as the dash has been completely gone thru. Forgot to mention it also has a tow hitch and bar although we have never used it! You could easily pull a small trailer behind it for camping etc....

What needs finished:

Z-bed and cabinets need screwed down but I was going to wait obviously until I finished the floor. I have two panels that need finished; rear door hatch and sliding door. I will try to complete before the sale but again we are dealing w running a restaurant day to day and a baby w Colic. The floor needs completed which is an easy job for anyone w basic wood working knowledge. We have a brand new seal that goes around the inside of the pop-top opening as well, this holds some of the panels in place as well, it just needs glued down. We also have the kids cot along w brand new canvass that just needs to be installed then screwed down in the tent area above. (also have the original kids cot and frame that goes over the front seats, rare to have the original :)

Really sad to be even listing this on Ebay and we would really love to see it go to a family that will appreciate her. She really is a piece of art in our eyes and its gonna be heart breaking to see her go.

Forgot to mention that we are currently having to relocate our restaurant after more than 2 years to make way for a big corporate box store coming in :(

Simply put, other things have become more important unfortunately.

Thank you!

Next VW GTI to get 10-speed dual-clutch gearbox

Wed, Nov 26 2014

Following on Volkswagen's official announcement that it was working on a ten-speed, dual-clutch transmission, Auto Express has it on "good authority" that the new transmission will end up in the next GTI, GTD and Golf R. The brand's current seven-speed will be retained for lesser eight-generation Golfs. While the new gearbox won't be limited to just the higher-end Golf range, the new hatchback, expected in 2017, will be the first to get it, Auto Express reports. The new DSG is the same size as the Volkswagen Group's seven-speed dual-clutch, and will easily fit into VAG's MQB platform, so we should expect it to filter into the rest of the Group's vehicles, much like the seven-speed 'box has. The ten-speed is likely to see applications beyond even the small cars of the MQB platform. The gearbox can handle 405 pound-feet of torque, according to AE, making its application in larger offerings such as the gas-powered MLB cars and crossovers a likelihood. Beyond the new gearbox, Volkswagen is also toying with mild-hybrid tech for the standard Golf and better batteries for the e-Golf. As we said, expect the new Golf to arrive in European markets in 2017, with the current Euro-market Golf getting updated next year. As for the US, we wouldn't be surprised if VW followed the trail blazed by the Mark 7, with a North American arrival for the eight-gem Golf slated for a year or so after sales in Europe begin.

Jay Leno brings a rotary-powered VW Beetle to the garage

Mon, Aug 1 2016

It takes something really unique or inventive to pique Jay Leno's interest. His show, Jay Leno's Garage, has featured everything from concours-worthy classics to completely custom, home-built machinery. How do you get Leno to feature one of more than 20 million Beetles on his program? Stick a turbocharged rotary engine under the hood. The Beetle's owner, Mario Markakis, swapped the car's stock flat four-cylinder for the Wankel engine from a 1990 Mazda RX-7 Series 5 Turbo. The engine's 250 horsepower are fed through a reinforced version of the Beetle's stock four-speed transmission. That's about five times the original engine's output. It works well, with the car putting down some impressive times at the drag strip. Markakis did most of the work to the Beetle in his garage. In addition to the engine swap, he's modified the car's brakes, suspension, and interior. Check out the video to hear all the details of this custom Wankel-powered Volkswagen.
