Hi everyone,

I sell to you here my lovely Project. I have been working on the car for over 9 months now but am becoming a daddy this days. So I need to quit soon to make room and time for this new project. Thats the reason why I offer my Camper to someone who is willing to finish it. The hole car is finished to 65 %. My reserved price is only the costs for the materials, paint and parts. The work and time is not included, because thats the fun in the whole project.

Here is what I have done so far:

- Pre-cleaned the whole bus

- Got the entire interials out

- Took the windows out for sand stripping

- Sand stripped the whole chasis and many parts

- Repaired the broken or rusted body areas and filled them up

- Used Bando, primer and sanded the whole bus

- Painted the bus (PlastiDip) and almost all the parts

- Cleaned and rebuilt chrome parts, lights, radio, speedometer and other things

- Bought a CD-Player System and a Bass Box and other speakers and cables

- engine, starter and transmission are professionally rebuild (New Seals, Engine is not yet tested)

- New white wall Hankook tires, wheels newly painted and chrome hubcaps rebuilt (quite nice)

- Roof is cleaned, sanded, painted and reinstalled (works good, tent is missing)

- Fuel tank, firewall, fuel intake and engine area are rebuild

- Electric System checked by a professional (nearly everything can be used again)

- All small parts come in boxes or small bags

Here is what you need to do to finish it:

- Complete engine with the missing piston rings and one cylinder head needs to be cut to the right size for the bore ( I have done the hole engine together with a professional german volkswagen mechanic)

- Replace transmission seals and add new Hydraulic Oil (Shifts well so far)

- Install engine, transmission and muffler

- Install dashboard and speedometer, radio

- Install windows

- Install several bulbs

- Change clutch cable

- Check and maybe replace brake pads or system (Brakes are still working)

- Check and maybe replace shock absorbers (They are still working)

- Install door lock system and window system on both passenger and driver door

- Get started with the interior the way you like (I can provide old front and back seats)

- Install rear bumper and install or buy some seals

- Buy and install Volkswagen logo on the front (I planed to install that when I am finished)

- Repair hot air tube under the bus

- Install wipers and window clean system

- Install Power-inlet on side of the Camper

What is Part of the Deal:

Because it will be too many pictures to show everything I give you a summary of the main part groups you are getting:

- The BUS with new wheels, tires and so on (Ready to Roll)

- Engine (Cleaned and Rebuild with new Carburetor, Intake and so on)

- Transmission (Cleaned with a professional rebuild Starter on it)

- All Windows (Include NEW Front Windshield, old one was cracked)

- New Oil for Engine and Transmission

- Sound System (Bass Box, Super 8 Radio, original VW Radio, CD Radio)

- New parts for over 2000 $, All bills will be provided

- Front and backseats (Just removed and not rebuild yet)

- Several Tools (Floor Jack, Stands, Ramps and so one)

- Screws and small parts (nearly everything you need packed in boxes)

How can You get the Bus:

I recommend you come with a PICKUP TRUCK or a big VAN or SUV. Bring a Trailer that is able to hold the camper. The total weight of all the stuff is around 3400 lb. I am storing a lot stuff like the Transmission and a lot of small parts inside the bus right now. Small parts are packed in a dozen boxes. You also need a place to store the rear bumper, all windows and the front and back seats. The TRAILER you bring should be equipped with a wench to pull the bus on the Trailer. Pushing it on the Trailer by hand could maybe be to heavy.

The bus is in a quite good condition so far, but I am just a normal guy and not a volkswagen specialist. So I strongly recommend for you to look before you buy. There will be no negotiation after the auction. Please be sure you agree to all the terms in the auction. Bus ist 43 years old and not new!

VW to announce $1B investment in Mexico plant

Sun, Mar 8 2015

Big news south of the border could be slated for later this week, as Automotive News is reporting that the Volkswagen Group will announce a $1-billion investment in the company's Puebla factory. The company officially declined to comment, but AN is claiming the investment in the Puebla facility, which has been operating for over five decades, will add 1,900 jobs to the nearly 16,000-strong workforce. According to AN, a person familiar with the situation in Puebla claims the investment will support production of the next-generation Tiguan, slated to arrive in 2017. The Puebla factory currently produces Golf, while total output last year nearly hit half a million vehicles, or about 15 percent of Mexico's total automotive output.

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD is our favorite oil-burning GTI

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, though a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available.
The GTD also offers buyers a few aesthetic tweaks to help separate the hatch from its less potent siblings. Those include a more aggressive front fascia, special badges and 17-inch alloy wheels. Expect to find the GTD in one of three exterior colors, including Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. Check out the quick press release below for more details.

Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.
