Amazing 1982 Rabbit Convertible. Fully restored 1982 Volkswagen Rabbit, with extras, such as new top, new headliner and pad, tires, front and rear disc brakes, interior carpet, new fabric seats (not seat covers). Mechanical: It has been restored mechanically and electrically by Foreign Aid Albuquerque NM. The engine was replaced with a new Audi 2.O high compression motor costs $7500.00, along with a new transmission and clutch. New front suspension struts and new custom exhaust. Interior: The front and rear vinyl seats have been replaced with fabric seats (black tweed) The front and rear windows seals are new. The car was painted shortly after the engine/transmission rebuild and at that time I replaced the rubber molding around the fenders at paint time also, with original German rubber moldings. I also replaced the from and rear windows at paint time and the rubber seals around the front and rear windows. The new canvas top went on after the paint job was complete, along with a new head-liner, and pad inside the convertible top. The dash cluster was rebuilt and there are no cracks in the dash. I’ve replaced the factory stereo with a better new unit. The Factory A/C was disconnected due to the larger radiator installed for the motor. I replaced the original factory bumper assemblies for Euro bumpers for lighter weight. (will include the factory bumpers with the sale) Paint: It’s had one repaint and was stripped to bare metal before the factory color was re-applied with a clear coat. There is no rust on the vehicle anywhere ! Including the Dyno of the car to show its power. The Bad: · has a few road chips (its not a garage queen) · a golf ball hit the front valance one day, slight ding · A/C disconnected · Some of the plastic seat moldings are missing.

Volkswagen e-Co-Motion concept poised for delivery to Geneva

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

With Nissan getting ready to launch the e-NV200, it appears Volkswagen is looking to go after the same zero-emission commercial vehicle market with the all-electric 2013 e-Co-Motion Concept. Debuting next week at the Geneva Motor Show, the e-Co-Motion Concept might be small in size, but VW says it has cargo and payload capacities that should be perfect for small businesses.
Measuring 179 inches long, 75 inches wide and 77 inches tall, the e-Co-Motion Concept has about the same footprint as the current Golf, and it has a cargo capacity of 162 cubic feet and a maximum payload of more than 1,700 pounds. There isn't too much information on the e-Co-Motion just yet - such as what electric components and platform are used - but the press release posted below states while the concept is shown as a cargo van, future body styles could include a passenger wagon or a refrigerated box van.

Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world

Mon, 22 Apr 2013

Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.

Volkswagen unveils sportier Passat Performance Concept ahead of Detroit debut

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

Ahead of its official unveiling at next week's Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen has released some preliminary details and images of its Passat Performance Concept - a car that, as its name suggests, adds a little more spice to the automaker's midsize sedan formula. VW makes no mention of any production intent for this road-ready-looking sedan, simply stating that the Performance Concept is a way to "explore this practical four-door's sportier side."
It certainly doesn't look too sporty, the only visual upgrades being larger 19-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bi-xenon headlamps with VW's Advanced Front Lighting system, LED taillmaps and carbon-look mirror caps. Inside, there are carbon interior accents and two-tone leather upholstery. But no matter, the real upgrades for this mightier Passat are found below the sheetmetal.
Powering the Performance Concept is a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, churning out 250 horsepower and sending its grunt to the ground via a six-speed automatic transmission. For reference, that's 80 more horsepower than the Passat's base 2.5-liter inline-five, but 20 horsepower less than the potent 3.6-liter VR6. As for other performance upgrades, Volkswagen has fitted the car with a lowered sport suspension and revamped electronic steering, which should indeed add a bit more dynamic feedback to the already nice-driving sedan.
