Up for sell is our 1970 Westy. We are the second owners and have been restoring her for over a year but are now forced to sell her due to our new baby being born who btw has "colic". Needless to say we simply don't have the time to enjoy her or get her completely finished :(

She is 95% complete w a few items left. I will try to list everything that needs finished along w the more than 18k invested in her.

We started w taking her down to bare metal and replacing the battery tray area and windshield w new sheet metal. She was then painted w a 2 stage Dupont paint job; more than 9k spent on paint and body work alone. The top was stripped as well and repainted w marine grade fiberglass paint. Replaced the top w a new Go-Westy hemp temp, replaced all seals and kept all the original VW glass accept for the back drivers side and a brand new PGW windshield. Fresh rebuilt 1600 cc motor will less than 350 miles: valves will need to be readjusted at 500 miles by new owner if sold, most VW owners will know this :). New interior seat covers, panels, kick panels, back seats and jumper seat. New handmade cabinets made by a local wood shop here in St. Pete. They were made out of maple then stained and sealed. We were able to find 1/8 birch plywood like the original and stained and sealed those as well. New Hankook rubber all the way around as well. New Alpine CD w Ipod adapter and new pioneer speakers. We also have the original cabinets and sink that I will include. We will also include a brand new set of Kadron dual carbs that we were going to put on but again we simply have not gotten to it. The wiring harness has also been replaced as well as the dash has been completely gone thru. Forgot to mention it also has a tow hitch and bar although we have never used it! You could easily pull a small trailer behind it for camping etc....

What needs finished:

Z-bed and cabinets need screwed down but I was going to wait obviously until I finished the floor. I have two panels that need finished; rear door hatch and sliding door. I will try to complete before the sale but again we are dealing w running a restaurant day to day and a baby w Colic. The floor needs completed which is an easy job for anyone w basic wood working knowledge. We have a brand new seal that goes around the inside of the pop-top opening as well, this holds some of the panels in place as well, it just needs glued down. We also have the kids cot along w brand new canvass that just needs to be installed then screwed down in the tent area above. (also have the original kids cot and frame that goes over the front seats, rare to have the original :)

Really sad to be even listing this on Ebay and we would really love to see it go to a family that will appreciate her. She really is a piece of art in our eyes and its gonna be heart breaking to see her go.

Forgot to mention that we are currently having to relocate our restaurant after more than 2 years to make way for a big corporate box store coming in :(

Simply put, other things have become more important unfortunately.

Thank you!

VW lawyers up with firm that defended BP

Wed, Sep 23 2015

The string of bad news for Volkswagen shows no sign of slowing yet, especially with the recent resignation of CEO Martin Winterkorn. For aid in its legal defense in the US over its ongoing diesel emissions scandal, the automaker has now employed Kirkland & Ellis LLP, which was the same law firm BP used for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, according to Automotive News. VW is surely hoping that things go easier for it than BP. After the massive oil spill, the company paid $4 billion to settle criminal allegations and another $18.7 billion for the other federal and state claims, Automotive News reports. We'll see. Based on fines for each of the 482,000 diesel vehicles with this evasive software in the US, VW could be on the hook for $18 billion from this lapse. In addition, 11 million units are potentially affected across the globe, and the company is already setting aside 6.5 billion euros ($7.25 billion) in expected costs. The automaker's stock on the German exchange is being hit hard by this scandal. The original discovery of high pollution levels in VW's 2.0-liter TDI engine began with researchers last summer, and the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board had been working on the problem for months before the EPA issued its notice of violation on September 18. A criminal investigation has now begun. The day before his resignation, Winterkorn issued a video where he apologized profusely for the scandal and promised to make things right.

Former chairman Piech opposing his nieces' VW board nominations

Fri, May 1 2015

Someone needs to option the rights to the Ferdinand Piech story for an HBO series, because it perfectly mixes the corporate intrigue of Mad Men with the family drama of The Sopranos. Plus there are some cool cars. In the latest episode, Piech isn't happy with Volkswagen's appointment of two of his nieces – Julia Kuhn-Piech and Dr. Louise Kiesling Â– to replace he and his wife on the automaker's supervisory board. The recently ousted chairman could try to stop them. According to German publication Bild, Piech thinks his two relatives lack the necessary automotive experience to serve on the board. Therefore, he suggests one-time Ford Premier Automotive Group boss Wolfgang Reitzle and former Siemens manager Brigitte Ederer to take the seats. However, a VW spokesperson told Automotive News Europe that there were no objections to the women's appointment, except for this story from Germany. Piech's nieces are already officially appointed to the VW supervisory board, and it's approved by the Braunschweig Local Court in Germany. His only real option to challenge them would be to file a lawsuit, according to Automotive News Europe. While the new appointees don't have their uncle's decades of history in the auto industry, they do have business experience. Dr. Kiesling has a degree in vehicle design from the Royal College of Art in London and is the managing director of an Austrian textile maker. Kuhn-Piech works in real estate sits on the supervisory board of German truck maker Man.

Ram and Alfa Romeo top J.D. Power study of best automaker websites

Fri, Jul 21 2023

Imagining a new car can be terrific fun, especially if the new car is an Alfa Romeo. So say the fantasy engineers at the J.D. Power agency, who’ve found that Alfa and Ram, sister brands under the Stellantis umbrella, offer potential buyers the most attractive consumer websites, which are often their first viable encounter with those vehicles. Power found that those marques lead the mass market and premium categories in its twice annual Manufacturer Website Evaluation Study. In the premium segment, Alfa Romeo led with 755 points, up six points over BMW, 10 points ahead of Infiniti, 14 points past of Jaguar, and 18 points up on Porsche. By contrast, Volvo and Audi trail the pack with 689 points, and are behind Genesis (699 points), Tesla (720), and Cadillac (721), all of which perform worse than the premium segment average of 724 points. The summerÂ’s study showed that in the mass market segment, Ram leads with an impressive 735 points, which puts it six points ahead of GMC, seven points atop its stablemate Jeep, eight points beyond Subaru, and 22 points ahead of the industry average. Volkswagen finished dead last among mass market names, but only one point behind Ford, 684 to 683 out of a possible 1,000. Segment average, as noted, was 713 points. Â“Website satisfaction can be volatile, and automotive websites are not immune to changing preferences,Â” said Jon Sundberg, director of digital solutions at J.D. Power. Â“However, manufacturers have shown to be very agile when it comes to website design and ensuring their sites meet modern standards, more so than many other industries, as exemplified through the study data.Â” Marketing/Advertising Alfa Romeo Audi BMW Ford Volkswagen
