Vehicle Detail

1977 Type 2 transporter. 2 front bucket seats and 2 bench seats. Senegal red/white top, I think it was repainted at some time- 2 liter/4 cylinder/4 speed manual transmission. Runs and drives fine- straight and true; actual mileage unknown, shows 86K on odometer. Good condition for its age; I started project for my 16 year old daughter and wife shit-canned the idea of a 16 year old daily driving a VW hippy bus. Body repairs 60% and mechanical restoration 95% complete; It is to the point that the bus is mechanically fit, and I considered it safe to drive. Mechanically good to very good condition: engine rubber replaced such as belts fuel lines and seals, valves adjusted, compression tested good on all 4 cylinders. New battery and battery tray installed 6/13. Problematic VW fuel injection removed and replaced with new Webber electric choke downdraft 2bbl carburetor, fuel filter, air filter, new manifold and new fuel pump 4/13. Ignition system and distributor completely rebuilt 4/13: new bushings, coil, points, condenser, plugs and wires, timed. Engine was replaced/rebuilt(?) at unknown time before I purchased vehicle- but it is evident it was professionally removed and re-installed. New front wheel bearings installed. Good (existing) clutch. Brakes completely done- Front: new pads, rotors and rebuilt calipers; Back: new drums pads backing plates, parking brake cable, rebuilt pistons. Spare rebuilt master cylinder included. New shocks and bushings installed and good tires all around including spare and jack. Body and floors fair condition: all rust- through either sheet metal repaired or fiberglass patched- some surface rust and small dents/scratches remain, could use paint and body work on bottom half of van, but hard stuff is complete. I believe all head, tail turn lights work. Chrome VW "half moon" hubcaps. VW factory supplemental gas heater installed- unknown condition. Interior: has original spare tire cover and jack, original off white interior in good/fair/dirty conditions, seats with no major issues, could use rubber floor mats and under dash fascia. All window glass and doors in good operable condition. Dash cluster loose- unknown condition- spedo, tach and gas gauge disconnected, heater fan runs. Extra parts including gauge cluster, mirrors and used exhaust parts master cylinder, "Robert Bently" Volkswagen Bus Service Manual and more. I have restored and repaired many older German cars and am a straight shooter with skill; over $6000 invested including purchase-price, without including labor hours; I just don't want to store it for the winter or I would finish the job and sell it for $10,000. As is- as shown. - showing Saturdays and Sundays by appointment only, leave your number with questions or to make appointment and I will call. You tube http://youtu.be/9BUxd9pgJY4
