1978 Volkswagen Bus Westfalia Transporter for sale
Current customer rating: (268 votes ) based onI have pretty much restored the entire bus. I see an occasional bus on the internet that seems nicer but have never seen one in person. Its cool. reliable and even though most people are passing you everyone seems to be waving. I run it about 70-75 on the freeway. I have replaced every trim panel in the bus. every weatherstrip. replaced the carpeting. I undercoated the floor prior to that. Besides painting it the green it is I also pulled the top and replaced those seals and the canvas and painted the top too. I replaced the headliner. The water pump for the sink is new as are the water and electrical outlets. The fridge not only works but I removed it and had the ammonia replaced and the unit serviced before reinstalling. I also put in a new battery isolator and an optima battery for the fridge. (that way it charges when running but doesnt ever drain the starter battery when stopped) I took the bus to a vw shop and dumped almost $2000 into getting the heater going. They replaced every cable. installed the fan. underbody hoses. added missing shrouds. Prior to that we would put on down jackets and run a propane heater! It all works now. The rear bumper is new. New brakes front and rear last year. Head work and manifolds replaced a couple years ago ( I got the receipts) I have the bug netting. kids cot. toilet box. ront table. ront awning. shop manuals. etc) We have had so much fun stopping at salvage years over the years combing through buses finding this clip and that odd cover. Both the wiper switch and the turn signal switch are new. I wired in an extra power point. The kick panels are new and I installed little tweeters in them. The stereo is MP3. cd. auxillary port so you can watch movies and listen through the stereo or plug in your ipod. Speakers in front and rear I believe are all JVC. I installed new. ( Im writing this description from Mn for my wife to post in Az. Ill be back to the veh on Thursday to answer any questions) Weber carb with adjustable fuel pressure regulator (fuel mileage much improved since doing this) I pulled the fuel tank and had it cleaned and updated the fuel tube and cap. Im sure there's a ton more but thats all i can come up with. New floor mats and a hemp mat we lay out for the front porch. Tire chains (used only once in Yosemite) The complete front seats have both been replaced as has all the pedestal rubber around them. Mirrors too.
Lets talk about what else it could use. The horn doesn't beep (Ive installed a new horn. and fuse and cleaned the horn brushes) The speedo cable spins and the speedo works but the odometer has read 149701 for the 20 years Ive owned it. The front windshield has a crack on the lower passenger side. Thats it. Maybe one could sandblast and update the paint on the rims and the original paint on the wiper arms is a little faded. I know there's a lot of hokey stuff on the internet. This isn't. I'll answer any question you have. This is a nice bus. The fact that I'm considering selling it breaks my heart. The necklace hanging on the rear view mirror comes with it. It came with it when I bought it.
