The vehicle has undergone a restoration/ rebuild where the floor pans were replaced and the three inch body lift composed of 3in square stock of steel was welded in. The front nose of the vehicle was customized with a fiberglass Baja kit where the nose and hood were replaced. All of the fenders are also fiberglass replacements. The rear also has a fiberglass piece on top that acts as an air scoop to pull air to the engine. The interior is stock for the most part. The shifter knob is aftermarket with a pull up style reverse lockout. One problem is that the drivers seat is ripped in the middle, other than that the seats are all original. It does not, however, have any carpet or headliner. The floor and headliner were undercoated. The battery is in the vehicle under the rear seat and it is an optima(yellow top) gel battery. The speedometer is not hooked up, the empi replacement cable is still in the packaging in the rear seat of the vehicle. The wiring has been removed. Also included is a tow bar and the front and rear metal tube steel bumpers. The wheels are chrome, and the front are significantly smaller than the rear. The suspension is torsion in the front and rear, which is the original style of these VWs. The rear has had the torsion springs tightened and notched so the frame does not contact the rear suspension. Also this is the reason the vehicle can clear the 31 10.50 super swamper rear tires. The engine does run, however, it does not run well. The engine seems out of adjustment, I am not familiar with VW adjustment procedures. I installed dual EMPI 44 HPMX carburetors that could be out of adjustment. Another problem with the engine is that it leaks oil as most VW engines do. The vehicle has been garaged for most of the time I have had it. This vehicle is not perfect but allot of money has been invested to get it to this point but I have lost interest and want this vehicle gone. I tried to cover everything but feel free to ask questions.

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 NMC production guise caught in China
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.
Volkswagen Passat gets Wolfsburg Edition, priced from $23,495*
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Volkswagen has just announced a new Passat Wolfsburg Edition, which slots between the base S and mid-grade SE trims in terms of content and price. The automaker has not released any official photos of the car as of this writing (aside from the badge shot you see here, of course), but the Wolfsburg Passat will be visually set apart from the rest by a unique set of 16-inch alloy wheels.
The big host of upgrades for the Wolfsburg Edition are found inside, where buyers will enjoy standard amenities like leatherette seats (with bun-warmers on the front chairs), a power driver's seat, satellite radio and a media interface with iPod connectivity. Of course, this comes on top of the already standard Passat features like Bluetooth and auto on/off headlamps. The Wolfsburg Passat will only be available with the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
Look for the 2013 Wolfsburg Edition Passat to hit dealerships in the very near future, priced from $23,495, *not including $795 for destination. Have a look below for Volkswagen's official press blast.
