Hi everyone, I sell to you here my lovely project. I have been working on the car for over 12 months now but want to sell it now. I look for someone who is willing to finish it. The hole Bus is finished to 85 %. My price is only the costs for the materials, paint and parts. The work and time is not included, because thats the fun in the whole project. Here is what I have done so far (Milestones): - Pre-cleaned the whole bus - Got the entire interials out - I put in a running engine - Sand stripped the whole chasis and many parts - Repaired the broken or rusted body areas and filled them up - Painted the bus (PlastiDip) and almost all the parts - Cleaned and rebuilt chrome parts, lights, radio, speedometer and other things like a wallnut gear nob - Bought a CD-Player System and a Bass Box and other speakers and cables - engine, starter and transmission are professionally rebuild (Engine runs but I guess needs to be a little adjusted / I can send you a video of the running Engine) - New white wall Hankook tires, wheels newly painted and original chrome hubcaps rebuilt (quite nice) - Roof is cleaned, sanded, painted and reinstalled (works good, tent is missing) - Fuel tank, firewall, fuel intake and engine area are rebuild - Electric System checked by a professional (nearly everything can be used again) - Nearly all Body Rubber and Seals are new Here is what you need to do to finish it: - Install speedometer, radio, some electric - Install several bulbs, replace some small parts - Check and maybe replace brake pads or system (Brakes are still working) - Check and maybe replace shock absorbers (They are still working) - Get interior panels - Repair hot air tube under the bus if needed - Install Power-inlet on side of the Camper What is part of the deal: Because it will be too many pictures to show everything I give you a summary of the main part groups you are getting: - The BUS with new wheels, tires and so on (Ready to drive) - New Battery - Sound System (Bass Box, Super 8 Radio, original VW Radio, CD Radio) - Clean title How can You get the Bus: I recommend you come with a PICKUP TRUCK or a big VAN or SUV. Bring a Trailer that is able to hold the camper. The total weight of all the stuff is around 3400 lb. The bus is in a fair condition so far, but I am just a normal guy and not a volkswagen specialist. So I strongly recommend for you to look before you buy. Bus ist 43 years old and not new! |

Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
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.
VW exec calls US ops a 'disaster'
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Today in the Tell Us How You Really Feel file we have Bernd Osterloh, head of Volkswagen AG's Group Works Councils and member of the company's supervisory board, labeling the company's US operations "a disaster." Why? Because Osterloh believes VW of America doesn't have the models it needs to be competitive here, hasn't been decisive enough about its plans and German higher-ups still don't understand the US market.
In truth, the top labor rep at the German conglomerate is echoing sentiments we've heard from VWoA executives for years, and there's been the same commentary from dealers: Germany doesn't pay enough attention to what the US market really wants. Even ex-VWoA CEO Stefan Jacoby, who preceded the recently departed Jonathan Browning, said early in his tenure that one of his tasks was to get his German bosses to start delivering what the US market demanded. New CEO Michael Horn is saying much the same thing seven years later, telling Sky News that it has to increase "the speed at which we bring new models to the market and innovation to the market."
Osterloh wants to get "more models" here, including a pickup truck, but we'd wonder if the economics have changed from when Jacoby said they'd need to sell 100,000 per year to make money. Osterloh also wants a decision on where the CrossBlue will be built. Although it looked as if the Chatanooga, TN plant would get the call, the Puebla, Mexico plant is still in the running because of lower operating costs. No matter what happens right now, Osterloh thinks the situation won't get better for another two years when revamped models arrive, but at least the company can start taking the steps for a better US future.
