This car was sandblasted inside and out. I cut all the bad metal out and welded new. New floor pans installed. Then coated it with 2k primer and blocked the whole car. And then i primed it again. I then based it in light blue. I then painted the inside and outside with 12 qts of tinted blue bedliner spray. I coated the underside with chassis black rust free paint. The roll bar was painted in bedliner spray. The car was taking apart to the shell. I painted each pcs by its self. I fixed each pcs by its self.

Tight and solid motor no inplay. A gas sipper!! The car drives and handles great for a jacked up vehicle. I built the car to last. I wanted something to drive anywhere and not worry about scratching it or getting it dirty. i made the car where you can take it off road or drive on the beach.This bedliner spray will hold up great and looks great.
This car is so fun to drive. I build VWs for a hobby. This car comes with a gas heater. And also i have convertible top frame and windows frames. If you want to make a winter ride out of it.

Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world
Mon, 22 Apr 2013Meet 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 throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen unveiled a parade of new and upgraded Polo models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo (pictured above). While they will likely never make an appearance this side of the pond, it is fun to see what European subcompact drivers will be driving later this year.
The new BlueMotion models represent the most efficient petrol and diesel options in their class, according to VW. The BlueMotion TDI offers just 73 horsepower from its diesel engine but gives the equivalent of 76 miles per gallon (US) in the EU test. The BlueMotion TSI brings a little more power with its 88-hp petrol engine and has a combined rating of 57 mpg (US) in the EU cycle.
The Polo BlueGT provides a balance of performance and economy, and for the 2014 model, it gains a 9-horsepower boost to its 1.4-liter turbocharged to give drivers 147 hp at the press of the accelerator. This year's car also has an optional Sport Select suspension with electronically controlled dampers to improve handling a bit. It's still fitted with active cylinder management to use as little gas as possible when cruising.
