This Westy is in good shape with clear title and doesn't need much to hit the camp sites. Body is straight with newer paint that looks good. Was a Florida and North Carolina Westy. Engine has new seals and runs great with great power! Oil and transaxle fluid has been changed. The Weber carb conversion is a big upgrade, the old primitive fuel injection computers were notorious for quitting on you, the simpler the better basically. Carb could use a rebuild, I have to feather the gas when I drive it around the block, also gas pedal linkage could use some attention, it comes off the back of the pedal sometimes and seems loose. Has electric fuel pump with manual cutoff switch. 4-speed manual transmission has all the gears, linkage is squeaky and a little stiff but gets better each time I drive it. Clutch is good. Brakes work but pedal travel is low. Not sure about emergency brake. Brand new OEM ($400) tent for the pop up top comes with (see pic), current one has holes, and roof seals have been replaced, no water gets in. The appliances are all there and are clean, never tried to put propane or water in it, but was told they work, can't guarantee. Heater hoses are disconnected from heat exchangers and the controls are back in the dash like some one was about to remove them. Interior and dash is the original and not all torn and cracked but is a little worn and faded. Seats pivot properly. Window tint is getting old and faded and looks like someone started to remove it from the drivers window. Tires have been replaced and are very good quality. No stereo but has a cut-out for a modern one along with 6x9 speaker cut-outs under the rear bench and 5.25 cutouts in the doors. All glass is good. Battery is tired, it dies after a couple days of being charged, I usually put my truck battery in it if I'm driving it around my neighborhood or messing with it. I have most of the electric working
Please feel free to ask any questions you have. I have described this the best I can and have not owned this long but would be glad to go look at something specific for you and take a picture. If you would like to talk on the phone, send me a message and I'll send you my number. Vehicle sold as-is with no implied warranty, buyer is responsible for arranging shipping. This is basically an easy and even drivable project depending on how nice you want to make it. Body, Interior and engine are better than most Westy's you see!!!
I noticed on the last trip around the block that the odometer isn't working so mileage is unknown, I also noticed that the history report shows 166,000 in 1994, so I don't know if the odometer was reset after an engine install, or if the gauge cluster was replaced (most likely scenario) or if it stopped working a while ago and that was an estimate. Needless to say mileage is unknown.

1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool
Tue, 04 Jun 2013There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.
Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
