There is a lot to say about this bus. I found it with a caved in roof skin and braces, and it hadn't ran in 10+ years. An old buildings roof collapsed on the bus and it was holding the roof from crushing a karmann ghia and a convertible beetle. The only thing it damaged was the roof skin and some of the drip rail. So when replacing the skin I made it into a truck.
The truck now has air scoops mounted on the sides. Not shown in some pics
Yakima roof basket is not included, I no longer have it.

The rear hatch opens like factory still. (I used a donor bus for the correct corners inside the bed, and the latch.
2.0L fuel injected engine with 4 speed manual trans DAILY DRIVEN
Newer tires
Freshly powdercoated wheels. Custom side step and custom hitch powdercoated
Thule roof rack load bars
Factory gas heater (that I haven't got going again yet)
Factory Reef Blue paint and ROADRUNNER model
Pretty fresh motor according to the previous owner
Does not leak oil
Has newer seats out of something else in front. With added pedal extensions because my wife couldn't reach pedals well.
Seats 5 with the rear bench
Has 36" legroom in the back

The 2.0 liter has quite a bit of power with the EFI and stock size tires. Bus weighs less then a factory bus also, so Im sure that helps. Sometimes the bus idles low, and I have to keep it running at idle. Seems to do this only when its warm out, because in the mornings at lower temps it idles fine, sometime even idles high. This could be related to a temp sensor? Im not sure. I drive it everyday, so this doesn't deter its reliability.

42" bed with custom tailgate
Idles high and sometimes low, but it very reliable
Needs a drivers door panel (looks like the door was replaced at one time. but sometime ago
Some rust spots but nothing huge. surface rust Rock chips up front being tow barred at some point, all floors are solid, but show some surface rust. overall pretty dry compared to the rust buckets ive seen.

Overall very solid
Rear bench is factory in awesome shape (off white ) which folds forward. which makes it nice when opening the hatch.
Factory rubber mats front and back

I have a SEARS all state trailer that can come with the bus for the right price. The custom hitch has the mounts for the single wheel trailer along with a 2" receiver.

Please do not hesitate to ask questions. I will be happy to answer them, but I don't want to take hours of time to show how this was done so someone can just copy it!! :) I cannot be held responsible for the buyers assumptions. This truck is NOT a show truck and was a fun project that turned out pretty good. Im not a body guy so it could have been done differently. but this way certainly worked well.

Volkswagen loses thousands of vehicles in Chinese explosion

Thu, Aug 13 2015

Yesterday, a blazing, explosive fireball erupted from a port in the city of Tianjin, in China, lighting up the night sky and shattering windows with the force of 21 tons of TNT. Hundreds were injured and the death toll continues to rise, with the most recent reports claiming 50 were killed. While the human cost of this tragedy simply can't be overstated, it hasn't taken long for corporations to look into what the enormous explosion cost them. And for Volkswagen, the answer is quite a lot. According to our friends at Jalopnik, a Chinese source claims the German giant, which remains one of the PRC's most popular brands, lost thousands of vehicles. The automotive casualty sheet lists 1,065 Touaregs, 391 Beetles, 257 Tiguans, 114 Golfs, 84 Up! minicars, 39 SportVans, and 28 Magotans (a locally built version of the Passat). While those are the only vehicles listed, the Chinese source said over 2,700 vehicles were destroyed. For example, both Land Rover and Renault lost an unspecified number of Discovery SUVs and Koleos CUVs, respectively. The explosion also affected Toyota. Its research and design facility with joint-venture partner Sichuan FAW also suffered an unspecified amount of damage. You can check out the translated source article here. As Google Translate jobs go, though, this one is particularly bad, but it still offers some details of the automotive cost of this disaster.

VW TDI ads star four 'salty' ladies and a stinky dog named Tuna

Sun, Mar 22 2015

The Kim Kardashian sex tape just keeps on giving: it brought the Three Golden Sisters to our attention, and now Volkswagen has used their comedic, Bronx grandmother schtick to promote its TDI engines. The ads are another round in the fight against the malicious perceptions of diesel – like how they're slow and loud (they aren't), that it's hard to find a station to refill (it isn't), and that they stink (they don't). Tanner Foust makes an appearance in one spot to dispel the notion of sluggishness, and Tuna the Dastardly Dog proves that she (or he?) can outstink a diesel any day. You'll find Tuna in the ad above, the other three ads are below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
