- has 2.5" dropped spindles in front. Shoes are less than a year old all around and both rear wheel cylinders are less than a year old as well. Brakes need to be bled, though. Bleeding them has never been my strength, so the pedal goes down further than I'd like.

- new Wolfsburg West headliner which I've yet to install
- new mirror for the passenger door, not installed
- a brand new replacement antenna from WW, for looks and to have if you ever decide to install a radio.
- stock/original steering wheel and horn ring
- I will tune up the car before turning it over to the buyer - new plugs, plug wires, adjust the valves, set the timing and idle, check and replace the air filter if needed.
-Bamboo tray is included but not mounted. I placed it there for the pictures.
Other things I've done over the last 12 months:
- new GT 13.5" steering wheel; new shock tower-to-body pads, new front axle to body pads; replaced crappy after-market Chinese window regulators w/original good German ones; installed a shift lock; replaced the 6-volt wiper armature w/a new 12-volt one from Wolfsburg West; new 3-point front seat belts form Wolfsburg West; new floor tar boards from WW too; new WW sun visors; installed new Pertronix SVDA w/Pertronix electronic ignition; installed new Pertronix Flame Thrower coil; found, repainted and installed ALL FACTORY cooling tin, including the cooling flaps and the famous "Hoover bit" for the oil cooler. Cooling flaps bought new from Awesome Powdercoat in Ohio; new front and rear transmission mounts; new trunk seal
Thanks and good luck.

Volkswagen reveals Beetle GSR, R-Line convertible and two special GTIs
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Volkswagen has chosen to really expand its performance-tuned portfolio at this year's Chicago Auto Show, bringing along a couple of new Beetles destined for model year 2014, as well as a pair of freshened GTI packages that you'll be able to buy almost right away.
The first, and splashiest of the Chicago goodies on the VW stand has got to be the 2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR. Don't lose your temper, Acura Integra geeks; in this case, GSR stands for "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer," and harkens back to a sport-tuned classic Beetle from the 1970s. For the 2014 iteration, the GSR gets a 210-horsepower version of VW's 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder. That engine is enough to push the Beetle to 60 miles per hour in 6.6 seconds, and up to a top speed of 130 mph.
Of course, you'll have long-since noticed the shockingly yellow-and-black livery before you stumble across the Turbo badge on the rear deck. The GSR gets 19-inch alloy wheels, 235-section tires and a tea-tray rear spoiler, but it's the paint and graphics package that will decide if this is your (lemony) cup of tea. Things don't get any subtler inside the car, either, as VW has carried the colorway through to the interior, as well. Only 3,500 Beetle GSRs will be produced, with just more than half of those going to the US - call your dealer today, Wiz Khalifa.
VW confirms Golf GTD diesel coming to US for 2016
Wed, 03 Jul 2013Part of the Volkswagen Golf recipe that has helped the car sell more than 30 million units in just under 40 years is the number of variants in which the hatchback is offered. Building on that range here in the US, Automotive News is reporting that we will finally be getting the sporty Golf GTD, likely as a 2016 model. It's the GTD, you'll recall, that crosses the performance abilities of the venerable GTI with a powerful and fuel-efficient diesel engine.
After speaking with Andreas Valbuena, Volkswagen product manager for the Golf, AN not only says that the GTD will for sale in the US in a couple years, it also estimates a baseline price of around $27,000, which would place it between the current pricing for the GTI and the Golf R. The GTD is launching in Europe this summer, but we won't be getting the seventh-generation Golf in the US for another year. The news about the performance diesel model isn't entirely unexpected - VW officials have been hinting at it for at least a year now, going so far as to import a sixth-generation model for media test drives on US soil, a task we happily took them up on last year.
The Mk VII GTD uses VW's 2.0-liter TDI engine with output increased to 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, allowing the car to sprint to 60 miles per hour in about seven seconds while returning more than 40 mpg in highway driving. We can't wait.
Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show
Mon, 05 Mar 2012The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
