I PURCHASED THIS VAN FROM AN ESTATE SALE OF A VW COLLECTOR IN CALIFORNIA. IT WAS IN A DRY PLACE AND THERE IS ALMOST NO RUST TO SPEAK OF IN THIS CAR. THE HISTORY REFLECTS THE OWNER ETC AND I LEFT CALI TAG ON THE CAR.  
UNDERCARRIAGE IS BONE STOCK AND ORIGINAL AND UNMOLESTED AND I WOULD TELL YOU THAT IT HAS NO RUST AT ALL THAT I CAN SEE OR FIND ANYWHERE THERE. THIS IS A AMAZING ORIGINAL BUS. IT HAD TINY LITTLE SURFACE RUST SPOTS AROUND THE VAN. I HAD THEM PROFESSIONALLY REPAIRED WITH FIBERGLASS NOT BONDO. AND HAD THEM FAUX PAINTED TO LOOK LIKE A RUST COLOR TO GIVE IT A LITTLE PATINA AND NOT HIDE THE LITTLE REPAIRS. THE DRIP RAIL HAD A FEW RUST SPOTS. AGAIN REPAIRED WITH FIBERGLASS. AND PRIMERED WHITE NOT TO HIDE ANYTHING.  
PAINT IS ORIGINAL TO THE BUS EVERYWHERE I CAN TELL. BUMPERS WERE DIRTY AND PERFECT I PRIMERED THEM WHITE TO PRESERVE THEM. NO RUST.  BUS JUST HAD A 1200. 00 SERVICE AT A CERTIFIED VW SHOP AND RECEIPT COMES WITH CAR. CARBS REDONE. NEW CHROME AIR CLEANERS. (ORIGINAL AIR BOX WILL COME WITH VAN INSIDE A BOX FOR PEOPLE WHO WANTS THE ORIGINAL LOOK) . SERVICE TO TRANNY. NEW VALVE COVER GASKET. NEW PLUGS. OIL CHANGED. TANK DROPPED AND DRAINED. NEW FUEL FILTER. ETC.

BRAND NEW REPRO LUGGAGE RACK COST $500. 00. NEW CUSTOM CURTAINS INSTALLED. BOTH FRONT SEATS WERE PROFESSIONALLY UPHOLSTERED AT VW SHOP TO LOOK ORIGINAL. COST $800. 00.
THE VAN RUNS DRIVES AND SHIFTS GREAT. IT GOES JUST A VW SHOULD. I DONT KNOW IF ITS A 1. 6 OR 1. 8 MOTOR BUT IM LOOKING INTO IT. IF YOU WANT A BUS THAT IS NOT JUNK. THIS IS IT.
