Initial purchase: I took the train up to my sister's place in LA. The previous owner ('PO' in VW message forum speak) Did not know too much about the car other than he was the 3rd owner, it ran well, and that the brakes did NOT work well. I drove it home from LA the rainy weekend of the Superbowl (Feb 2nd) and verified the car had anti-lock (and anti-stop!) brakes.
Took the car in to VW Paradise in San Marcos, CA to have the Master Cylinder and brake lines replaced the week of Feb 5th ($500). Drove it home and washed it to get a better look at the body.
Pretty straight frame and fenders.
Hopefully this is all the rust that is under the side window.
The engine and tin are stock. Needs a new engine hatch gasket for sure.
Interior is ok but still damp from the rainy drive home. Inside is still the factory color (Savannah Beige?).
A bit of rust beneath the windshield. Hopefully this is no more rust beneath the windshield rubber.
