Up for auction is my 1958 Double Door Panel. Built in late 57 i have had this bus for quite a while and drove it all over a few years back but know it just sits and we have other projects to tend to so sadly we must let it go. I have a clean California title in my name and it has been " NON-OPT" since 2007.I bought it from an older gentleman who bought it and let it sit in his yard. When i bought it it didn't have a motor, trans or wheels and tires and it had a complete camper kit in it........I bought it but he kept the camper kit so here is what i have done:

BODY: It has a bad nose, it needs a skin as i bought it this way, missing the windshield glass it has its typical rust in front floors, driver side dog leg and inner and outer rocker. The passenger side has already had the inner and outer rocker replaced, lower cargo doors replaced and the belly pan on that side fixed.It has the wrong year engine lid, taillights and has the camper windows cut in. On a good note The rear wheel wells have never been cut, it does have its original front doors, 2 cargo doors, rear hatch and what i believe is its original front pressed bumper. It does have the large "Sekurit" logo on the door and hatch windows and has the correct door handles,headlights,front emblem, and has a single outlet "church key" rear apron. The body still needs plenty rust repair and bodywork but overall it is a good start.

INTERIOR: Or lack there of. It has its original seat, steering wheel, column, pedals and wiring. Wrong year speedo and someone has put in a factory gas gauge. But it has the correct shifter, panel divider and little bits.

ELECTRICAL: The original loom has been repaired. The headlights, taillights, turn signals, dome lights, dash lights etc all work and the charging system charges as well.

ENGINE: It is a stock 1600 single port that was rebuilt several years ago but runs great and never has given me any trouble. I have tried to use all german parts when i put this motor in. Recently rebuilt the carb, installed a new bosch starter and rebuilt dist with all new wires, plugs etc. It has a sachs clutch in it that works great as well.

TRANSMISSION: I bought it at the same time as the motor from a friend who upgraded from stock to a larger motor. So i bought his motor and trans. The trans was rebuilt as well as the reduction boxes and works fine............unknown mileage on both engine and trans.

BRAKES: Just redone. German drums turned, new shoes, hardware, seals, wheel cylinders, hoses and master cylinder with brake switch. All parts german except master and all from Wolfsburg West.

WHEELS\TIRES. Painted ghia wheels with brand new 205/75/15 radials with custom painted early style hub caps.

While this bus still rough and needs things to be totally driveable it is a good start. I will include a box of extra bits and pieces that go with it.

Note: There is no reserve or "buy it now" just a straight auction so bid to win. Feel free to ask any questions.

UK auto magazine says this is the best car commercial of all time [w/videos]

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

There have been many great car commercials over the years, but is it possible to define the best? Well, Ad Week recently took a crack at it by rating the top commercials of the year by looking at their view counts on YouTube, but Auto Express took a more democratic approach by putting the decision to a vote. Just after Thanksgiving, Auto Express came up with a list of the 20 popular commercials, and it tasked its readers with choosing the winner for the best car ad of all time. The winner? Honda's 2003 commercial for its then-new European Accord titled "The Cog."
While the ad never aired in the US, most car people have surely seen the impressive Rube Goldberg-style spot. In fact, the only commercial on this list that we saw on US television was the Volkswagen ad "The Force," but many of the others have become viral videos, including transforming and dancing Citroën C4. Of the 19 other commercials that vied for the title of best ad of all time, only the Ford Puma "Steve McQueen" commercial gave Honda a run for its advertising money.
Scroll down to watch Auto Express' top five commercial in order and to check out a press release, then let us know some of your favorite car commercials in Comments.

Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish

Wed, 10 Jul 2013

A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.

Volkswagen adding R-Line trim to Touareg, Tiguan for 2014

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

Volkswagen introduced its aggressive R-Line appearance package on the CC and Beetle last year, but later this year, this treatment will also be applied to VW's crossovers, the Tiguan and Touareg. Both sporty-looking utility vehicles will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show.
The 2014 Tiguan R-Line comes standard with bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, and the package adds 19-inch wheels, grey fender extensions, body-color side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. Inside, the R-Line adds a flat-bottom sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, a black headliner and numerous metallic trim accents such as the stainless scuff plates, the aluminum pedals and metallic finish on the instrument and door panels. The Tiguan R-Line will be offered in front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
As for the 2014 Touareg R-Line (shown above), this model gets an ever more distinctive look with an aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and dual oval-shaped exhaust outlets in addition to the painted side skirts and LED taillights. Similar metallic interior trim pieces found inside the Tiguan R-Line will also make their way into the Touareg as well as gloss black accents on the instrument panel and center stack.
