Since we're dreaming:

Barndoor Highroof Kemperink rolling on custom 5-lug Cosmos. Safaris windows, double-ragtop, custom Jake Raby-built Type 4 diesel.

We might have to get Lidpainter to try to photoshop this. Cool

My dream bus is in my backyard Smile I have a 1977 Hightop and when I am done with it, it will be my dream bus. I am installing a full digital 24track studio into it, I am also thinking of a flat screen monitor that I can use with either my digital console, TV Tuner, or a DVD player with fully tuned 5.1 Surround Sound System. I am also building a 2liter Torque Monster for it. The only thing that would completely set it off would be if I could turn it into a Syncro like the four factory test syncros I have seen pics of. Very Happy Peace, Aaron

Well, seeing as I got my bullet panel I mentioned I wanted earlier in this thread, I'm upgrading it to wanting a bullet panel with no windows in the sides. I need a pair of high hinge cargo doors and some metal to weld in where a camper window was hacked in.

I think I want to paint it mango green/seagull grey. I know Panels didn't come in those colors but I loooove mango.

1970 Double cab lowered on discs with something larger than a 2.0L type IV in a darker dove blue with beige bumpers and wheels with a spotless beige interior, wood slats on the bed, and a beige canvas cannopy.

I guess I'm halfway there, with a 1970 Double Cab at stock height with front discs, a 2.0L type IV motor, painted dark blue with black bumpers and wheels with crappy beige interior, spray on bedliner on the bed, and no cannopy. Getting closer.

I'd be happy with a lowered doubledoor pannel of any year (earlier the better) in either white, blue, or black with a big motor.
