This was restored with a lot of love and time. Before I list all the things that was done to it, let me discuss my approach as you will see that affects the restoration.
Because parts are so hard to find and this is a 40+ year old car, I tried to repair, store any existing original parts than getting new replacement parts that might not be OEM. In addition, any rust was aggressively sanded off plus I soak the area with RustGone that I bought at an automative paint supplier. This way I know rust will not be a problem. Youtube videos: Exterior: http://youtu.be/DEkFn2IfSHs Interior: http://youtu.be/tJQrc9G0vqM Start/drive: http://youtu.be/N2r3q3xqyxg Items done: Cosmetic/Radio - Brand new 7 year warranty 2-tone paint job by Maco - All flooring and bottom sidings are coating with automative truck-bed lining to seal off any scratches and rusts. It's suppose to be anti-scratch. - After that coat is applied, carpets have been installed on all floor surface - All side panels are brand new - All sidings are brand new - Ceiling is brand new - Brand new upholstery for both front seat and rear seat. - All locks are keyed the same and work properly. All doors lock as needed. - Ignition is keyed to a new ignition key for double security and stronger key (done by AD Buggie) - New radio + speakers (will play MP3s, AUX port in front, LCD screen) - Brand new headlight fixtures (upgrade because old ones are too dim [actually replaced fixture + new bulbs]). - Brand new headlight rims - Brand new turning signals and gasket - Brand new side mirrors - Brand new retractable red seat belt Engine: - T4 motor with simplified/upgraded single carb (easy to change out air filter and service) - All leaks (by replacing seals) are fixed by AD buggie. Your wife will be happy this is done so your driveway stay (fairly) clean. - Motor runs strong and got good torque. I drive up and down the hill every time I go out; no problem with power. - Heat shield in place - Transmission shifts as it should - Extended exhaust chrome (new) tip to avoid carbon build-up on bumper or side of bus - New Alternator - New Regulator - New Starter Electrical: - ALL ELECTRICAL WORKS!!!! Why? Because I spent $800 at a VW auto shop just to re-do all the wiring. Each plug is examined and redone so all electrical works. Yes, ALL! It was a 10 hour job done by PowerHaus in Torrance on Del Amo. Suspension & Tires - Inner & Outer Tie Rods are replaced (and alignment done) - Tension Rod + Ball joint both side replaced - Font shocks replaced - Break-fluid flushed and all break serviced & checked - Tires have excellent tread-ware - Rims are in excellent condition with chrome (actually chrome) hub cabs There are also other smaller things done that I won't mention but you'll see the difference in person. This is my personal car so I am proud of all the work I did (I am not a dealer). Being a 40 year old car, there are things that can still be done to it to make it even better: - Steering wheel can be replaced. It's just old but works just fine. - Front windshield. It is old and got beaten down by the sun overtime. Still ok and drivable. - Rear side window. It has some smear on it that I cannot get off. Still ok and drivable, no physical damage to window actually.. just cosmetic. - If you are doing window, I would replace the window seals as well.. but there's no water leak from these seals so they hold up just fine. - Door molding. The old ones are just old and falling apart.. but the car has such low insulation value and does go fast, there's really no statistical benefit besides cosmetic. - Front windshield wiper blade. Just old. - Small things that I can't think of but being an old car you just have to keep working on the little things... I bring up all these points because I don't want you to find something you didn't expect. I had a buyer who expected me to discount the car because of those points above to an unreasonable price that I simply walked away. Here's the point: if you expect this 40 year old classic car to function and perform like a brand new car with all the features of a modern car, this is not your car and you won't be happy with this car. I have a lot of interest about the car; please try to ask questions pertaining to making a deal. If you are interested in VW Buses in general, go to a forum.

VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.
European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year
Tue, Dec 16 2014There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.
