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.

Volkswagen Cross Up! headed for production after Geneva reveal
Wed, 13 Feb 2013The last time we saw the Volkswagen Cross Up!, it was sitting out in the snow in prototype form, but the next time we'll see this slightly more rugged version of the diminutive Up! hatchback will be when it makes its production debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Looking like a micro-crossover with its raised ground clearance and black cladding, the Cross Up! will be the fourth "Cross" model for VW (after the CrossPolo, CrossGolf and CrossTouran) when it goes on sale this summer in mainland Europe (UK sales remain up in the air and US sales are highly unlikely).
Overall, the styling of the production Cross Up! has stayed fairly true to the 2011 concept car, including the front and rear fascias that offer a more rugged look, stocky 16-inch wheels and roof rack side rails. Inside, this model will get unique interior enhancements such as "Cross Up!" sill plates and an instrument panel available in red, black or silver. Like the regular Up!, the Cross Up! is powered by a 74-horsepower, 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission, and it doesn't look like all-wheel drive will be part of the picture. For more details on the upcoming Cross Up!, check out VW's press release posted below.
Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.
Next-gen Volkswagen Golf R spied while running the 'Ring
Tue, 16 Apr 2013The launch of a new Volkswagen Golf is never a small thing, and things are already looking up for the subcompact hatchback after it was named 2013 World Car of the Year. While we've already seen the base and GTI versions of the next-generation Golf, now we're getting our first look at the sportier Golf R.
Although this prototype wears GTI lettering on the front fenders, it's more than just the roll cage and Sparco racing seat hinting that this is something a little more serious. Unlike the Golf and GTI, this car shows that the Golf R will continue to flaunt massive air intakes on each side of the fascia, and the rear of the car (though it's hard to see) has quadruple exhaust outlets. We still don't have an official word on power, but rumors indicate that the next Golf R could be pushing close to 300 horsepower, making it the most powerful production Golf ever. As much fun as we had during our first drive of the Golf R Cabriolet in the cold, snowy French Riviera last month, more power is a warming idea.
