Wall of shame

I never said it wasn't done well, but the whole concept is just confusing to me. Rat rods are not just about style, but function. This is all about the look, without any of the hot rod function. I guess I'm just not into the whole style over function thing.

Then there's the whole issue with a van in the Santa Cruz area with a "SoCal" decal on the dash. More confusion. This thing is a rolling identity crisis Rolling Eyes

To each their own I suppose. I will give it to him that he pulled off the "look" well. I don't think anyone is going to pay 10 grand for it though.

Not sure how the condenser is ducted in and out the back side. You'd need an awfully big hole in the fire wall.

cool air will tend to stay near the floor - yet another reason why that is not an optimal placement

but if he parks in RV "camp" sites he can just plug into AC

If I had to have AC (pets are a good reason), I'd go this route. That way you only bring it along and mount it up when you need it.

Ya know, IF it were proportional to the van, I could applaud the owner's efforts. I still could not applaud the 7,000 Euro price however.

Powered by an ALH TDI ....... Pulling a camper, something quite different!

Hacked the OE Speedo area to install a functional Jetta Cluster.. Yes, that's how fast I was pulling the camper.
