All windows were removed prior to paint. All new window rubber and gaskets. Nice white wall tires. There was little rust on this bus before the restoration. All paint and body work done to a high standard. This bus runs and drives perfect, always garaged. Took over 2 year to complete. Sand blasted rims painted front and back. Thousands of dollars invested. Very rare to find a bus like this condition.
PAINT & BODY- Full window out paint job including door jambs. The doors were taken of and repainted. The van was painted factory VW colors of Lotus white and white two tone (a rare and popular color on VW split window buses from the sixties). All new door and window rubber, new front and rear lenses as well as side marker lenses. Door and window felt seals were replaced. The motor was pulled and the entire engine bay was meticulously cleaned and repainted. New windshield, VW emblem, antenna, windshield washers. The paint was polished after the van was painted. The wheels where completely sand blasted and repainted. The front and rear bumpers are perfect and have new rubber step and gaskets as well as polished stainless hardware. Arrow strait body. This van started out as a very dry rust free west coast bus and needed very little rust repair.
MOTOR & TRANSMISSION- The motor was professionally rebuilt using over sized pistons. Less than 500 miles on the rebuilt motor. This was a full rebuild including but not limited to crank, bearings, cam, rebuilt heads, ect. New dual carbs with K&N air filters. New battery, cables, all hoses including fuel and vac lines, engine seal, heater hoses, muffler and heater boxes, clutch, pressure plate, through out bearing, repainted engine tins. The engine bay has been fully painted and detailed to show quality. The transmission shifts great and was just serviced.
INTERIOR- The interior has been fully restored. New front seat upholstery and pad. The rear and middle seat where professionally reupholstered with new padding. Brand new headliner and door panels. CD player with remote. New visors, glove box, front wheel well mats, carpet in cargo area.
SUSPENSION & BRAKES- The van was lowered 2 inches with Wagens West drop spindles. This greatly improves handling and gives the van a nice stance. New KYB gas shocks, new brake lines front and rear. The brake system has been completely gone through. The front suspension has been rebuilt with new ball joints, tie rod ends, drag link ect. The van stops great & does not pull. The steering is tight and precise. With the upgraded lowering spindles, factory disc brakes, rebuilt suspension this van drives like a new van and handles even better.
OTHER- New white wall tires all the way around, fuel tank sender. The van has its factory middle and rear windows with wing windows which gives the van good ventilation. The deluxe trim is in great condition.
So much work went into this bus its difficult to list every thing that has been done. There has been hundreds of hours into the 2 plus year restoration. This is one of the nicest early bay windows on the market today. 77, 000 original miles. The classic stock 1964 vw colors we used really gave the bus a classic timeless look. This bus can be used as a daily driver or a show car.
