THE USUAL "PROBLEMS" WITH AN OLD BUS

spots oil, not a ton, but does drip when parked. this may be fixed with a new oil pan bolt and seal. (easy fix)
if you are a novice vw driver the shifting won't be a problem, if you are new at it, shifting can get a little stubborn , just takes some time to get used to
the patterns.
1 tire has a slow leak, i just fill it up every so often... i don't drive it enough to go buy a new tire. (easy fix, and cheap)
found a rust through area under passengers feet area. previous owners filled it with bondo. i grinded it out. a clean cut with a piece of sheet metal will fix the problem,. hole is about 5"x3" . 
has minor surface rust, as any 40 yr old car will have. but no rust throughs on the exterior. no panels will need to be replaced.
sloping door is from another bus. the previous owner did not attach a proper sliding hanger i think. it might be missing something. its a little lose when you open it. and needs to be pushed up inter place when it closed. this is common when doors are changed! i was told by my mechanic it can be fixed. but it was fine for me. still opens and closes. 
i lost the keys at one point, had to get ignition key re made. therefore i did not replace the door keys. to obtain door keys the door handle wil need to be taken to a locksmith to re key. the ignition cost me $20 for a new key, doors will be cheap as well!! 
no keys for hatch and engine lid. you can replace locking mechanism , very cheap . busdepot.com , easy fix
a few dents that i had filled with bondo, nothing major. 

bus originally came with a pancake engine. a 1600 dual port was installed, conversion tin was never installed. therefore there is a gap in the engine compartment, my mechanic said this is not necessary , more air flow gets to engine which is good considering it is air-cooled,  conversion tin is a personal preference item, and i chose not to purchase . does not affect condition, only cosmetic addition


OVERALL 

it is a good bus. in good condition for its age. turn key and ready to drive every day!!!   unfortunately i do not drive it enough with my schedule and don't have the time to give it that little sparkle that it deserves. 
drive as is , or put a little time and effort to get it looking clean!!

Autoblog Minute: VW Q3 financial woes, 2015 Tokyo Motor Show

Fri, Oct 30 2015

Consumer Reports pulls its Tesla recommendation, the U.S. Copyright Office offers a ruling affecting car owners, VW gets hit hard with third-quarter losses, and lots of exciting news from Tokyo. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Consumer Reports pulls its Tesla recommendation, the U.S. copyright office offers a ruling that affects car owners and gear heads, VW gets hit hard with third-quarter losses, and lots of exciting news from Tokyo. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. After a week away testing vehicles for Autoblog's Tech of the Year award, we're back in the office to recap the week in automotive news. [00:00:30] One of the things you might have missed was Consumer Reports pulling its recommendation of Tesla's Model S sedan. The blemish for Tesla comes after a tally of reviews from customer surveys. The most common problem areas for the Model S as cited by survey takers included: the drivetrain, power equipment, charging equipment, body and sunroof squeaks, rattles, and leaks. So lots of stuff. Though they could not ignore a score of "worse-than-average", Consumer Reports still [00:01:00] highlighted the fact that the Model S was "the best performing car" they've ever tested. Telsa CEO Elon Musk took to social media to defend his sedans saying: "Consumer Reports reliability survey includes a lot of early production cars. Already addressed in new cars." And, "Tesla gets top rating of any company in service. Most important, CR says 97% of owners expect their next car to be a Tesla (the acid test)." In Financial news, Volkswagen took a hit and reported an operating loss of [00:01:30] $3.84 billion. This is the first such loss for VW in 15 years. Toyota reclaimed the crown as the world's largest automaker as well. It's important that it's not all doom and gloom for VW though in Q3. Sales revenues were up and the company's automotive division boasts $30 billion dollars in liquid assets. It's a sizable war chest that will no doubt come in handy, as the company has yet to feel the full brunt of the diesel emissions scandal. Good news for gear heads. The US copyright office [00:02:00] ruled in favor of mechanics and car owners by granting an exception to existing copyright law. The law was originally meant to prevent software pirating and bootlegging of Hollywood movies.

Hyundai tops VW and Buick in China, survey says

Wed, Apr 15 2015

You may be aware of the long-time competition in China between Volkswagen and Buick, but another brand apparently should be in that conversation too: Hyundai. In a recently published annual consumer survey, the Korean company actually took the top spot to beat out its German and American rivals in second and third, respectively. The results were part of the China Brand Power Index that interviewed 11,500 people around the nation and was paid for by the country's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. While Hyundai proved popular with voters, its sales haven't necessarily shown that yet. According to Bloomberg, the brand had falling numbers in China for the first quarter of the year. Even Ford outsold the South Korean automaker in the same period, despite scoring lower on the survey. Meanwhile, Audi ranked as the populace's favorite luxury brand, which is hardly a surprise given the Four Rings' strong sales in China. In January alone the automaker saw a 15-percent boost in volume there. Parent company VW's strong performance was somewhat more surprising, though. State media severely criticized the German automaker in March, and customers protested last year for the allegedly poor handling of a recall.
