| This is why our dreams from 17 change when we are 60. Abortion, but great work nonetheless! |

| I cant help but love watching this build. It like a car accident, you just can't not look. Not my cup of tea but very interested in it. |

What separates this build from others is its utter originality and actually decent body work being executed here.
I agree with whoever said the pink guide coat makes it. Lets paint this thing a deep pink already. |

Okay, so this van belongs to a client of mine who's dream is to have the van he always wanted when he was 17- he is now in his 60's. He knows this build is not everyone's cup of tea and that he'll never get the money back out that he's putting in- it's a keeper. ......
Should mention this van has a TDI engine with Vanagon 4speed, rear air ride...I'll post more. This auto moves down the road very quickly. |

| The owner wanted the all the middle pieces in the rear (bumper, lid catch and new engine cover) to be separate and removable for easier access to engine. Made for a lot more work. |

oh man, what to say. The running boards make this van. I hope it comes/came together nicely. Looks like a ton of work.
