|
THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS CAMPER BUS! THIS BUS HAS RECEIVED THE RED CARPET TREATMENT REQUIRING COUNTLESS MAN HOURS, BEGENING WITH THE DISMANTLING OF A VERY STRAIGHT, RUST FREE ORIGINAL PAINT WESTFALIA. THIS WAS NOT A RUST BUCKET THAT HAD TO BE CUT UP AND PATCHED BACK TOGETHER, RATHER A VERY NICE SURVIVOR THAT NEEDED A REFRESH AFTER A 10 YEAR COVERED STORAGE. WE BEGAN BY DISMANTLING THE BUS DOWN TO IT’S BARE SHELL. ALL WINDOWS WERE REMOVED; ALL LIGHTS AND TRIM, THE ROOF, ROOF RACK AND CANVAS TENT ALL CAME OFF, ALL HANDLES AND HARDWARE ALONG WITH ALL DOOR RUBBER SEALS ECT. IT WAS THEN PROFESSIONALLY PREPED AND PAINTED IN A BEAUTFUL VINTAGE GREEN WITH A NICE CLEAN WHITE FOR TOP AND ACCENTS. THE PAINT WAS LAYED ON THICK AND THEN BUFFED TO AN AMAZING SMOOTH FINISH. THE VDUB CLASSICS UPHOLSTERY DESIGN WAS CUSTOM MADE FOR THIS BUS AND LOOKS FANTASTIC! THE ORIGINAL PANNELING AND WESTFALIA CABINETS HAD BEEN INCREDIBLY WELL PRESERVED AND REQUIRED LITTLE RESTORATION, EVEN THE ICE BOX IS STILL IN GREAT SHAPE AND VERY USABLE. THE FLOOR NEEDED REPLACING AND SO WE INSTALLED OUR VDUB CLASSICS ONE PIECE BALTIC BIRCH FLOOR PANNEL WITH MULTIPLE COATS OF URETHANE FINISH FOR A DURABLE EASY TO CLEAN SURFACE. THE CURTAINS WERE HAND MADE AND MATCHED SPECIFICLY FOR THIS BUS AND NEW CARPET WAS INSTALLED OVER SOUND DEADENING UNDERLAYMENT ALONG WITH NEW RUBBER SEAT PEDESTAL MATS. AFTER PAINT, WE METICULOUSLY REASSEMBLED THE BUS WITH ALL NEW WINDOW RUBBER, TRIM AND WINDOW CHANNEL FELT. ALL DOORS AND HATCHES RECEIVED NEW GERMAN RUBBER SEALS FOR A NICE QUIET WEATHERPROOF RIDE. ALL LIGHT LENSES WERE REPLACED WITH NEW. BRAND NEW CHROME BUMPERS WERE INSTALLED ALONG WITH NEW CHROME TRIM FOR LIGHTS AND FRONT EMBLEM. ALL NEW RUBBER SEALE ON ROOF AND ROOF RACK ALONG WITH NEW CANVAS TENT. NEW WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND NEW STEREO WITH USB INPUT FOR YOU IPAD OR PHONE THE REBUILT 1700 ENGINE RUNS EXCELLENT AND PUSHES THE BUS DOWN THE ROAD NICELY. BRAKE SYSTEM HAS BEEN FLUSHED AND NEW PADS ON THE FACTORY FRONT DISC BRAKES, THEY WORK GREAT! THE STEERING IS NICE AND TIGHT AND THE TRANSMISION SHIFTS PROPERLY THROUGH ALL THE GEARS. THE WIRING HAS BEEN SORTED OUT WITH ALL LIGHTS WORKING PROPERLY INSIDE AND OUT WITH A NEW BATTERY AND ALL 4 TIRES WERE JUST REPLACED WITH BRAND NEW!!

VW Up Buggy may be headed to showrooms
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Volkswagen showed six conceptual takes on its Up at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, one of those being the Up Buggy. Although few will probably remember it, VW has not forgotten it, applying for a patent for the Meyers Manx revival roadster way back in March 2012 and being approved in June of this year, according to a report in Autocar. That will give the automaker a 14-year lock on the design while it decides whether to move forward with a reboot of its past.
A patent doesn't mean the Up Buggy will ever move beyond the sheet-of-paper stage, but Autocar says VW is studying the market to see if a production version is feasible. We can't see North America ever getting it, but even so, we wouldn't complain if they made it - especially if they put an exposed engine in back that was set off by 18-inch-long twin tailpipes jutting straight up into the air. However, for a company that aims to be the world's number-one automaker by 2018, a niche vehicle for its mass-market brand would be a surprising use of resources.
IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
Volkswagen debuts MkVII-based diesel Golf GTD
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As Volkswagen prepares for the launch of the seventh-generation Golf, it continues to show off some of the car's different variants. With the standard Golf and the ultra-efficient BlueMotion Concept out of the way, now we're finally starting to see some of the sportier versions planned for the hatchback. Confirmed for a debut at the Geneva Motor Show, Volkswagen has now given us our first glimpse at the Golf GTD.
Just think of the GTD as a diesel version of the GTI with all the handling and styling upgrades, and then add a torquey engine to the equation. (We had the chance to sample the current GTD over the summer, so click here to read more.) To go with the new body style, VW also gave the GTD a new TDI engine consisting of a similar turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0-liter inline-four layout but with an output of 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque - that's an increase of 14 hp and 22 lb-ft over the current GTD. That's a pretty good oomph, but the GTD won't be setting any acceleration records with VW quoting a 0-62 mile per hour time of 7.5 seconds thanks to the car's 3,036-pound curb weight.
The styling of the MkVII Golf lends itself quite well to the more aggressive body kit found on the GTD (and likely matching the GTI). The new front fascia and blacked-out grille give the GTD a sporty look up front, while 17-inch sport wheels, rocker panel extensions and smoked LED taillights finish off the visual changes. The GTD will only be offered in three exterior colors: Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. As expected, the interior gets the plaid seat inserts and flat-bottomed sport steering wheel, but the car also gets stainless steel pedals, a black headliner, ambient cabin lighting and a specific gauge cluster readout.
