I've owned this 1991 carat since April of 2012 and have sincerely loved this thing.  It looked nothing like this when I took possession of it, but hopefully in the right hands it can continue down the right path and become something great. I have done many things to make this a reliable road warrior, modifying it to carry my family reliably wherever I might chose to go.  I lifted it 2" and upgraded the brakes as well as replaced most all the plastic doo-dads that other vendors are now making "improved versions" out of billet aluminum or stainless.  The wheels are properly fitted audi 16" that have been in use for roughly 2000 miles.  Most vanagon folks know that this isnt cheap to do and requires a stud conversion, wheel machining....etc.....all thats been done! Tires are 215/65-16 coopers from sears less than 5 months old @600.00 including roadhazard and alignment.  The stereo is a Sony iPod ready CD player with eight speakers. Custom enclosures were added to the doors in order to add extra 5.250 there and a custom rear hatch panel houses two extra 6x9's.  The added sound in the rear really counts when out at the drive ins!  Hatch up-it's an instant area party machine.  



Some of the things I've done include-

Rebuilt rack and pinion, new inner and outer tie rods, new upper ball joints w/ gowesty spacers, westfalia springs, new upper control arm bushings, new shocks, new power steering hoses front to rear.  Front brakes are Mercedes 500sl this upgrade netted dual piston calipers and vented rotors.

Rear:
Westfalia springs, new shocks, new parking brake cables, new rear wheel bearings (zerked housings), eurovan rear discs great holding parking brake.  New cv boot kits,  used transmission installed from 150k donor shifts like butter. New Sachs clutch kit, gowesty billet thermostat housing, new plastic thermostat t, new oil cooler lines/hoses,  vdo oil pressure/temp gauges installed up front utilizing a 42 draft designs oil t.  Factory oil alarms are still used this extra item just lets you add things in.  

There are receipts that go with this that justify the opening bid on parts alone. So bid high-bid often feel free to ask questions

I'm Senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Super Duty is new for 2017.

A massive government recall is in the works and the world's top-selling automaker is looking at significant losses in both car sales and its stock value. On top of losing billions of dollars, Volkswagen is also facing [00:01:00] legal issues. And this week we saw Martin Winterkorn step down as CEO of Volkswagen Group. These changes mark just the beginning of VW's arduous process of rebuilding consumer trust. Those are the highlights from the week that was.

Translogic 164: Driving the fuel cell vehicles of the 2014 LA Auto Show

Wed, Nov 26 2014

The LA Auto Show is known for its environmentally friendly vehicle debuts. At last year's show, hydrogen fuel cell concepts from Honda and Toyota joined a lease-ready Hyundai Tucson FCEV to cast a green hue over the convention center. This year, automakers took us a step closer to a fuel cell future by offering drives of their hydrogen-electric hybrids. Translogic host Jonathon Buckley takes a ride in the Toyota Mirai, which is headed for production in 2016. He follows that with a spin in the Volkswagen Passat HyMotion and the Audi A7 Sportback h-tron quattro concept. Which of these fuel cell vehicles holds the most promise? Tune in to find out.

Audi diverting a third of R&D budget to electrification

Tue, Jul 19 2016

Companies make promises all the time. We'll do X by Y. The new A will be our biggest seller in B. You know the drill. But it's when an automaker puts its money where its mouth is that we really stand up and take notice. That's precisely what Audi is doing as it attempts to convert 25 percent of its sales to electrified vehicles by 2025. Citing two sources with knowledge of Audi's plans, Reuters reports that around a third of the company's research-and-development budget will go to " electric cars, digital services, and autonomous driving." Of course, shifting that much money over to newer technologies means sacrifices elsewhere – Reuters' sources claim Audi will move money away from combustion engines and reduce country-specific powertrain variants, but the sources wouldn't get more specific. According to Reuters, Audi is 22nd in total sales of hybrids and EVs. That's eight spots behind Mercedes and ten spots behind BMW (not to mention hybrid-happy Lexus). Audi's only electric representatives in the US market are the A3 e-Tron and Q5 Hybrid and things aren't much better in Europe – the company needs to dump buckets of money into expanding its meager lineup to bring up the percentage of EVs it sells. Expect greater detail on Audi's electrification plans very soon – CEO Rupert Stadler will discuss the company's path forward on Wednesday at a closed-door meeting in Munich with over 2,000 managers. It's unlikely all those managers will be able to keep quiet. We'll be listening.
