FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND, IT CAME WITH A TWO CARB SYSTEM, IT NOW HAS A SINGLE 2 BBL WEBER. THE BUS HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A FEW YEARS AND IS NOT A DRIVER AS IT IS. I PUT PLUGS AND POINTS IN IT AND IT FIRED RIGHT UP WITH A PRIME. THE ENGINE SOUNDS VERY GOOD, BUT I WOULD NOT TRUST THE GAS IN THE TANK, SO THE FUEL LINE IS DISCONNECTED. I AM SURE IT WILL NEED THE REST OF A FULL TUNE-UP TO BE DONE, AND THE CARB REBUILT. IT HAS SOME RUST, BUT MINOR IN NATURE, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICS. THE DRIVERS SIDE ROCKER HAS BEEN PATCHED. THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS VERY CLEAN AS YOU CAN SEE. THE TIRES ARE NEAR NEW WITH NO DRY ROT. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL CURTAINS, CUSIONS, BUG SCREEN FOR THE REAR OPENING, CHILDS COT FOR THE FRONT, JUMP SEAT, AND REFRIDGERATOR WITH FOOD PREP SHELF AND SINK WITH HAND PUMP, SWING UP TABLE. THE ORIGINAL BIRCH HEADLINER IS STILL EXCELLENT. AT SOME POINT, THE FLOOR GOT WET AND THE SUB FLOOR ROTTED, SO IT AND THE VINYL WERE REMOVED. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAS CUT A PIECE OF BIRCH PLYWOOD TO REPLACE IT. THIS BUS SAT UNDER A TREE  AND IT SHOWS THE GRIME THAT COMES FROM THAT. I LIGHTLY CLEANED ONE AREA ON BOTH THE FRONT LEFT, AND THE POP TOP. YOU CAN SEE THAT IT WILL CLEAN UP NICELY. THE WINDSHIELD HAS A SMALL DING IN THE LOWER LEFT PART.  IT WILL NEED A NEW CANVAS FOR THE TOP, WHICH WORKS FINE. I HAVE A FILE WITH ALL THE SERVICE RECORDS, THE ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL, AND NUMEROUS SPARES THAT HAVE BEEN COLLECTED OVER THE YEARS. AND LAST, BUT NOT LEAST BY ANY MEANS, THE GREATFUL DEAD STICKER ON THE " KITCHEN " MODULE. THE RESERVE IS LOW, AS IS THE BIN.

Get ready to Camino-ize your fourth-generation VW Jetta with this kit

Tue, 05 Aug 2014

Inexpensive, small pickup trucks used to be everywhere in the US, whether they were from Japanese brands like Datsun or Toyota, the truly weird Subaru Brat or even from Europe with the Volkswagen Caddy based on the Golf. These days that market has completely disappeared, but if you're willing to pick up some tools to build your own, there's a company out there bringing the Caddy back as a kit for the Jetta.
Mark Smith knows a thing about building a vehicle at home. He has over two decades in the DIY-car business as a co-founder of Local Motors and the company that became Factory Five Racing. His latest venture is Smyth Performance and already offers a mid-engine, VW-based kit called the G3F. His new product, though, started as a fluke. "I just wanted a shop truck," said Smith to Autoblog. He already had a Ford F-450 but found that he was driving around with the bed empty most of the time. The result was a pickup truck based on the fourth-generation Jetta that he dubbed the Ute.
The kit retails for $3,500 and ships in three, big boxes, and it's designed to be built and painted in a weekend. Buyers get fiberglass exterior panels, a fiberglass rear window surround, sliding rear window, an aluminum reinforced bed with a tubular steel subframe, taillights, a fully functional steel tailgate, and other parts. In the end, you get a vehicle with a six-foot bed and a payload of around 700-750 pounds. The Ute maintains all of the factory suspension, fuel tank and emissions equipment and requires just a few cuts in the body to complete. "We did a modern Caddy," admits Smith.

Anti-union group files lawsuit against VW and UAW

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

The 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.

VW admits 430,000 2016 models have implausible CO2 ratings

Mon, Nov 16 2015

Volkswagen finally explained more details about its CO2 rating scandal in Europe and admitted that 430,046 of the estimated 800,000 affected vehicles with "implausible" figures came from the 2016 model year. They included some from Audi, Seat, Skoda, VW, and VW Commercial Vehicles, according to the automaker's list (as a PDF). The problem mostly impacts diesel engines, but the inventory also shows some gasoline mills. VW will next determine the accurate CO2 emissions for these vehicles, and the German Federal Vehicle and Transport Authority will supervise that process to ensure the data's veracity. The automaker will also launch websites in Europe to let owners enter their model's VIN to check whether it's affected. Because governments there often link vehicle taxes and CO2 production, the company promises to work with regulators in each country to cover any fees that result from the inaccurate figures. VW announced the CO2 scandal earlier in November and estimated the equivalent of $2.2 billion to fix it at the time. A later report claimed that a group of engineers were responsible for fabricating the emissions data. They allegedly couldn't meet reduction goals from Martin Winterkorn, and between 2013 and this spring the workers did things like overinflate the tires during testing to achieve the desired results. VW is also closer to a fix in the diesel emissions scandal. According to an anonymous insider to Bloomberg, the company has a repair for the 1.6-liter engine that's reportedly neither very complex nor expensive. German regulators would still need to approve the solution before it could roll out to owners. Next step in clarifying the CO2 issue Affected Volkswagen Group models of the current model year have been identified Customers being informed via website Discussions with the authorities have begun The Volkswagen Group reports that the vehicles of the 2016 model year affected by the CO2 issue have been identified. There is thus now clarity about the new vehicles of the current model year out in the marketplace. On 3 November 2015, the Group had already reported that irregularities may have arisen in determining the CO2 figures for type approval of around 800,000 vehicles. This was identified during its own currently ongoing investigations and had been made public. The internal investigations into the current vehicles of the 2016 model year provide results for narrowing down the actually affected vehicles with implausible CO2 figures.
