1987 Vanagon Westfalia Full Camper Tdi Turbo Diesel 4 Speed Project Pop Top on 2040-cars
Waynesboro, Virginia, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1987 VW Vanagon Westfalia Full Camper. I bought this camper with the intention of dull a full resto/customization and TDI conversion. Unfortunately I'm in the process of buying a house and can't take the van with me. So someone is going to get a great deal. Do you want a turbo diesel camper but the 30 to 60k price tags blow your mind? This is the perfect project for you. I bought this as a running and driving camper, it was a little rough around the edges, nothing bad, just dirty with some dents and dings here and there, "lived in" would best describe it. I spent a summer enjoying the van, camping, took on a few trips to Maryland and Pennsylvania and drove it everyday for a few months. During that time it was a reliable little van and multiple people stopped me and tried to buy it. I began collecting parts in preparation for this project, I bought a set of larger 15 inch steel wheels, a much straighter sliding door (the one that was on the van had been dented pretty good) I've also got an extra hatch for the same reason, the extra hatch has a small dent at the top that should be easy to fix, much easier than the mangled original, an extra rear cabinet. And the coup-de-gras a complete 2000 VW Golf TDI donor car. The car is 100% complete, I bought it off a former coworker who used it as a daily driver until it was hit in the rear. Why bother tracking down all this stuff yourself? I've already done that work! As for what has been done to the van: I stripped it down in preparation for minor body work and paint, screws etc. are in labeled zip lock bags (i know how much of bear putting something together that wasn't organized is), as you can see from the pics some parts of the van were stripped to bare metal. I wanted to make sure there was no rust hiding on those panels! The seam where these vans are notorious for rotting is in what i would consider to be very good shape, there are some small holes inside, but I cleaned this area and was going to treat the rust with some POR. The trasmission was rebuilt prior to my purchase and has the taller 4th gear that you need with the TDI engine already installed. I have years work of paperwork for maint. etc. and even the original window sticker! Everything that came off the van is here and included, I've sold nothing, and won't sell anything separate. It's a package deal. If I wasn't moving somewhere that I can't work on it, I wouldn't be selling. The above pics are from when i first got the van, everything below is as it is right now. As well as pictures of the donor car. Get everything to build a TDI camper in one place! If you have any questions please ask. The van has a clean and clear title, the donor car will come with a bill of sale. As you can see, having a shipper pick this up will be difficult, well pretty much impossible, so have a way to come get it! Cash in person only. BE SERIOUS. DON'T WASTE MY TIME AND I WON'T WASTE YOURS. Thanks.

Volkswagen Golf Wagon caught completely uncovered
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Without a lot of information to go with them, our camera-toting spies have captured some new images of a Volkswagen Golf wagon variant that is almost completely undisguised. In fact, the one piece of camouflage on the tidy wagon would probably have gone unnoticed to most casual viewers. Look closely at the rear three-quarter view of the car and you'll notice that the apparent taillight clusters are actually fakes - the outline of the real units is faintly visible behind the blue bodywork and the sticker-like fake taillights.
It's a good guess then, that this Golf wagon (called a Golf Kombi by our spy photographer) is a prototype that's pretty far along in the development cycle for Volkswagen. We can't be sure what impact this will have on the company's small wagon offering here in the US, but we'd be pretty surprised if something very like this didn't end up as the next Jetta SportWagen. We might well have more information on that front, after we visit Geneva next week.
VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years
Fri, 26 Oct 2012In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.
1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool
Tue, 04 Jun 2013There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.
