Up for your consideration is my beautifully fully restored Westfalia. It has been meticulously taken apart literally piece by piece and has gone through a complete and extensive restoration back to factory new like condition. I have personally seen and examined many restored Westfalias as I consider myself a Westy aficianado and will put my restoration on the same par if not higher to those selling for 2 to 3 times my reserve price. I will try not to bore you with all the details of my restoration but here goes: Vehicle started out as a rust free and accident free California Westy. I purchased it from the 2nd owner who owned it since 1994 with 24k original miles. Majority of the repairs and service records were done at Volkswagen of Van Nuys, Ca. I have 2 folders of maintenance and repairs records for this Westy that goes back to 1994. Lets start with mechanicals: My westy has a fully rebuilt 1.9L engine with approximately 6k miles since rebuild! (have receipt) Full rebuild included but not limited to: Brand new pistons and rings. Rebuilt genuine GERMAN heads, not aftermarket. All new bearings. Rebuilt crankshaft and rebuilt rods. Brand new seals and gaskets. Brand new fuel injectors with new injector seals New German fuel lines. Engine has new belts, new plugs, new wires, and new fuel filter. Oil just changed ;-). The complete exhaust has been refinished and mounted with brand new exhaust gaskets, and new nut and bolt kit care of GoWesty. Engine is smooth and quiet and runs and sounds as great as it looks! Like I mentioned, it only has approximately 6000 miles on it since rebuild. It starts right up and runs like new with no leaking or weird or odd noises, etc. Will cruise at 65 mph without hesitation, this is the actual accurate speed . All the Vanagons with stock 14 inch wheel set up , it is up to10 mph off. New accelerator cable installed as they tend to wear and snap over time leaving you stranded. Manual transmission has been fully serviced with REDLINE full synthetic oil. All shift points have been inspected, cleaned, and greased. Van shifts smooth through all gears like new with no grinding or any issues whatsoever. New clutch disc, new throw out bearing, new needle bearing, and new pressure plate as well as a resurfaced flywheel were replaced with engine rebuild. Cooling system: The cooling system frequently gets neglected in these westys but not during my restoration. All coolant lines were inspected and then received a full coolant flush and refresh. (Radiator was replaced when motor was rebuilt) Van runs cool with no water leaks. . .anywhere. Gas tank is also brand new with all new german lines and seals. (OLD cracked fuel lines and gas leaks tend to be neglected or overlooked and could pose a dangerous situation for vanagon owners as we all know) I didn't want to be a statistic hence was super safe and refurbished and changed it all! Onto the axles: Braking system was fully rebuilt! Anything that could not be refurbished was bought new and replaced. DISC brakes in front have new rotors, new bearings, new seals, new brake pads, and rebuilt calipers. Rear brakes redone with new shoes and drums and all new hardware. All rubber brake lines were replaced front and rear with new German units, not aftermarket. Steering tie rods are both brand new, upper ball joints replaced new, lower ball joints were inspected and in good condition. Complete braking system has been completely flushed and refreshed and bled with new DOT 3 brake fluid. Westy drives solid with no slop or wiggles in front end, steers straight, and stops straight and on a dime! Westy rides on 4 new front and rear KYB performance shocks. Both CV axles were replaced brand new with new boots as these commonly wear out on you at the most unsuspecting time. Nothing was left untouched or unattended to during mechanical restoration to ensure safe, smooth, and troublefree operation for years to come! Now onto the exterior body and paint work. As I have mentioned, westy was a perfect restoration candidate being a rust and accident free, clean and dry California vehicle. Van was totally stripped of all rubber, all glass, all lights, all trim, and even the pop top prior to body and paint work. Even all the doors, slider and hatch were taken off to paint the jambs and all the crevices properly! Ask other restoration jobs if they do this, I doubt it. Talk about labor intensive but you only get the best results when everything is stripped off the vehicle. This is how the VW factory would have painted them. Masking is never perfect when painting a car and being a perfectionalist, I could not stand for any overspray. . .anywhere. Minor scratches and dings were repaired on the bare body and westy now sports a beautiful and shiny 2 stage Dupont base clear coat paint job. Paint was entirely color sanded and buffed to perfection! Van is glossy smooth now. Paint color is the original factory IVORY code L567. I am sure paint looks better now than the vw factory would have ever imagined. You can only fully appreciate the paint and body finish in person. It may look like other vanagons on the market in pictures, but believe me. IT IS NOT!! Van was painfully put back together with all new GERMAN window seals. Again, not the cheap, poor fitting aftermarket rubber found out there. We even replaced the glass seals on both front doors which is very difficult to do (often neglected and usually cracked and never replaced) New A pillar drip railings were also installed (genuine VW German moldings of course) All handles removed during restoration were lubed and refinished and replaced with new seals. Marker lights are all new. Windshield wipers refinished and replaced with new shaft seals. Even the win nozzles and seals are also new. Even the slider door cover seal is new and slider door hinge refurbished. Fuel door enclosure is all new (completely removed during gas tank and paint restoration and replaced new) Windshield is brand new with integrated tint strip, along with extended length brand new windshield wipers. Poptop tent is still the original GERMAN canvas, it is still in very good condition indicating that is was rarely used. TENT canvas is only original once and is hard or nearly impossible to find an original one in this shape. All sunroof parts were replaced new (seals, skylight, brakets, bolts) with GoWesty parts and new pop top and luggage rack seals were also installed care of GoWesty parts. Every nut and bolt was removed from luggage rack restored and replaced new with stainless steel units. Even luggage rack drain hole screens were replaced during luggage rack restoration. I bet you didn't know there were screens in there to keep junk and leaves from collecting under the luggage rack. Did you notice the poptop is body color? Both luggage rack and pop top were completely strippted and refinished and repainted to match body color. Even extra coats of clear (4 to be exact) were sprayed on pop top for better UV sun protection so it will be beautiful for years to come. Bumpers were upgraded to later model westfalias units. They were meticulously prepped and painted to match body color with the same attention to detail as everything else. European square headlights were also sourced from a later model westfalia They were fully cleaned, polished, and restored inside and out and have new bright Sylvania ULTRA bulbs in them. That is why they look new in the pictures. Grill was restored and rare new VW German emblem replaced in center. Rear view mirrors also upgraded to larger, safer, and sturdier late model units. (They were originally powered but I prefer to operate them manually to keep things simple) Westy has new GoWesty upgraded side hook ups with quick release nozzles installed. . .much better and user friendly than the old stock units. Both rear hatch struts are brand new. Every nut , bolt , screw are all stainless steel that has been replaced. Even the tail lights, side markers, front marker lights have stainless steel screws. Each typical stainless screw is over $1 a piece, it adds up. Interior restoration: Since the van interior was completely stripped for restoration, every nook and corner inside was thoroughly cleaned all all dirt, bugs, grease, dust, etc, etc. Then Dynamat sound insulation was installed everywhere that was possible. You can read about the benefits of Dynamat online but it is used for professional stereo installations to keep noise isolated and does wonders for keeping road noise out of the cabin. Van is a lot quieter driving down the highway now then when it was new. All the doors sound solid upon closing now. Interior panels / headliner were stripped and restored with New GoWesty material which fit and look awesome and original. Both front seats were sourced from a 91 Westfalia. They have the nice built in adjustable armrests with big knobs which I prefer over the older models with no adjustment. I had the entire front and rear seats as well as the rear cushion re-upholstered with high quality fabric to match the dark brown interior. Upper bunk was completely removed from vehicle and all fabric was thoroughly washed and shampooed clean. All the curtains are brand new from GoWesty. Including the curtains for the wrap around front door glass and windshield as well as the slider door for complete privacy. Van smells fresh and new inside because it essentially is. The refrigerator works on all 3 modes, 12v, 110v, and propane / both original ice trays are present (see pictures of it in action) The sink faucet works perfectly. The stove top also works perfectly and the grill top still has its original blue plastic protectant on it. Camper retains both front and rear tables. Both table legs as well as mounting bracket were re powder coated brown to match the interior. Propane tank and hardware was completely removed from vehicle, sand blasted and power coated gloss white to perfection. Tank was rebuilt with new filler, bleeder valves and new propane valve and is filled with fresh propane. The entire dash was removed for cleaning and restoration. All air ducts were cleaned out as historically crazy stuff gets into there! No more breathing in years of collected dust and debris, etc, etc. Front and rear dash fans works perfectly in all modes. And best yet: Factory air conditioning was fully serviced and blows COLD. Van has new A/C compressor and new drier. The entire air conditioning system was professionally evacuated / vacuumed and recharged with brand new Freon R134. It was temp tested and blows 30 degrees F even at idle (freezing). Original analog dash clock still keeps time perfectly. Everything works on the van down to the windshield washer squirters, wipers, and I mean everything just like the day it left the factory. Nothing needs attention or work. Stereo has been upgraded to a brand new Kenwood KDC-X996 Am/FM/CD with remote, Sirius Xm ready, Bluetooth, iPod, iPhone, Pandora, etc, etc. Brand new Kenwood front and rear speakers, brand new fully retractable Hirshman antenna / made in Germany of course. Brand new front RubberTite Hex tan floor mats protects the carpets, the entire carpeted areas of the van have been fully shampooed and cleaned removing all dirt / debris / stains / odors / etc, etc. Brand new fire extinguisher mounted inside. Westy sits on 16 inch Mercedes CLK forged alloys with brand new Michelin Defender 215/65/16 tires. These rims are super hard too find especially in original condition and are highly desirable for the vanagon owners since they are super strong and super light weight (14lbs) and are fit perfect. Light weight quality rims usually found on performance vehicles always improve braking, acceleration, gas mileage, and overall performance, but don't take my word for it, look it up for yourself. Michelin Defender tires are some of the best all season tires you can buy for the Westy and has high tread wear over 800. All lugs nuts and bolts are brand new. Westy just passed strict CA smog test as of Nov 2014 and is currently registered until January 2015. Title and insurance is under my name.
