Alright here is another lil shop ride.
This one is a 1968 vw bug, beetle or whatever you wanna The only reason im selling it is because the wife needs a car so i can have my truck back. First of all this car had been sitting since 1995 under a tree before i got it. Since i got it i did a few things to it and had been driving it as my daily driver, and might i add that it great on gas and turns head everywhere. Ok the motor and tranny is in really good shape, the only thing i needed to do to it to get it to run at first was change the oil, put a new battery, clean out the gas tank , put some new gas prime the carb turn the ignition and she started right up. Soon after i got her running i started on the body with the great help of a friend (which his dad owns a body shop). Well we did the body work and squarted it vanillia and black cherry fenders with a hint of gold pearl. All the seals were replaced with the exception of the driver and passenger window seals and window wiskers. i have the bumpers for it but the are not in good shape they are a lil faded and not cool looking. . i Have the chrome trim i just need to put it and will do so before i goes ( thats if it does sell) . THe tires are new and in good shape, and what it seems like they are whitewalls but really are not, they are poor boys white walls (portawalls) alot cheaper and easier on the ol pockets. The interior is in good shape but can use a lil work, but the seats are redone and the carpet is new as well . The brakes have been gone through as well and work great. The front i put adjusters and narrowed the front end two inchs on both sides along with 2 inch drop spindles and new shocks. The rear i just cut the swing arms and moved up the splines and slammed her down, it doesnt ride the greatest but looks cool has hell . I for one rather look cool then have a comfortable ride, but the ride can be easly fixed but the turning up of the adjusters in the front and moving the splines in the rear, but you will loose some drop. I dont know what else to say, if you have any questions please email me and i will responed asap. thanx

North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014
Sun, 23 Dec 2012Wards Auto has released its North American Light Vehicle Production Forecast for 2014, and the report predicts foreign manufacturers will increase production on the continent some 3.9 percent by 2014. If accurate, that should see 123,000 additional cars, trucks and vans produced in North America, swelling the total number of units produced both by domestic and foreign manufacturers to 16.9 million light vehicles from a projected 15.6 million in 2013. Much of the increase can be attributed to the fact that Toyota intends to produce another car at its Blue Springs, MS plant as well as a new Lexus model at its Georgetown, KY facility in a year's time.
Likewise, Volkswagen intends to move production of a currently imported model to its plant in Puebla, Mexico. Daimler, Honda, Nissan and Mazda also plan to build additional models on North American soil for the first time. Around two-thirds of the new North American manufacturing will take place in Mexico, helping the country soak up a full 20 percent of the content's automotive production for the first time. You can head over to the Wards Auto site for the full report.
2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet
Thu, 07 Mar 2013The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.
US-spec 2015 Volkswagen Golf and GTI to finally debut in New York
Tue, 12 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf is hardly new to us. In fact, we've already driven it. And elsewhere in the world, the new Golf is already winning awards. Even so, we still have yet to see the US-spec version of the car, though that won't be the case much longer. As part of the New York Auto Show festivities later this month, Volkswagen will finally show off the 2015 Golf models destined for our shores.
Three different versions of the Golf will debut under the lights of New York City's Javits Center: the turbocharged TSI, oil-sipping TDI and hotter GTI. The first model in that list uses Volkswagen's new 1.8-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, replacing the outgoing 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline five-cylinder. The latter two models use familiar engines: the 2.0-liter TDI diesel and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, respectively.
Even though the new Golf officially debuts later this month, it won't go on sale in the US until the first quarter of 2014. We'll be waiting patiently.
