VW Bus 15 window deluxe 

Great candidate to convert to 23!




Project. Comparably priced buses are rustier with no parts! Check this out. 

Hard work just started. It has been media blasted inside and out. It reveals quite a bit of typical rust and then some not so typical rust. 
The difficult task of removing the rotten metal has been carried out.  Not all of it, but a lot of it.
There are pin holes in the rain gutters and more rust that may not be visible in the auction.  Just as for more pics of you are unsure of the scope of this project.

We have most of the replacement metal on hand already. The sheet metal comes from most of the usual vendors. Price it out and see that a good chunk of change and time have been spent already.

Far form being done.  You still have challenges.
Detailed images available, but most of it is visible in the link to the images. 

All ID tags present. 

Wheels and old tires are present.

Engine is a 1600 good core. Transmission is a used 1968 long axle. Front beam is still stock. 

Brand new pop out side windows still in box with hardware. 

deluxe trim set  is original, but some pieces may need straightening and or replacement.


boxes of trim and hardware unbolted from the body prior to media blast. 

jail bars. hooks, screws, nuts and bolts. 

(Rare) rear seat with luggage rail but the mount or base tubing is rusty and will need sections welded in.

Lots of boxes of parts. Most parts that were unbolted from the bus are in boxes, some discarded in favor or replacement. 

We can all be reasonable and assume that the bus was rusty, so most of the parts were just OK or in need of rechrome and replacement anyways.

The steering column, latches, T handles, and small assorted screws, nuts, bolts and fasteners are all in little bags.

Things get lost along the way, so please don't expect a perfect and complete bus.




On rolling cart, so we can ship it anywhere. 




 

Passenger replacement cab seat bottom and fender area has good metal to be harvested for the repair. Pinholes are clearly visible.

 

The nose had been started.  You can see a factory nose skin just overlayed over the original area. Below the new metal installation had begun.


Most of the doors and loose parts have been removed and put inside the vehicle.  They will be padded with a layer of cardboard and small items will be in boxes and bags.
We can easily ship this anywhere as the wheels will be bolted on this trolly or cart and it can go on a normal auto transport.

Headlights are fairly complete, tail lights have no lenses, turn signal stalk and parts are apart and missing the housing, no shocks, no emergency brake cables, no glass. no rubber.

It does come with brand new reproduction popout window frames and hardware for the sides.   Corner glass is missing and if it is there, it was broken- yours if you win the bid.

Study the images, as a lot of it has been photographed.  Ask the right questions to avoid  buyers remorse or disappointment.

Please send any one over for a scheduled pre purchase inspection.

VW builds 250,000th Passat in Chattanooga in just two years

Sun, 26 May 2013

It hasn't been without incident or union organizing drive, but the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, TN has built its 250,000 Passat in just a little over two years. The Night Blue Passat TDI with black leather has come just two years and five weeks after the first customer car came off the line on April 18, 2011.
In the last year the plant operated at the 150,000-unit capacity that it was intended for, but the downturn in Passat sales and subsequent worker layoffs mean it will be a challenge to repeat the feat. The plant does have the world's largest solar park, though, and you can't take that away from them.
You'll find the official hand-clapping in the press release below.
