That may be the first time I've seen one of those as a variant.

Pretty cool.

Nice Brasilia. Are you going to reinforce that front shock tower better?

You need to weld in some gussets especially where it bends. Make like an I-beam cross section.

It's a shame that shipping costs so much. I know a place in Asia where they have four (4) N.O.S. Brasilia floor pans sitting there since the 70's. VW abandone that market and left all the parts with the warehouse owners.

That is one of the coolest looking VW's I have seen. Good to see it getting some love.

Do you know if all of these models had the T3 style of engine?

Thanks and keep up the good work.
