Yeah at first I thought it was kind of cool, but I wouldn't drive one for sure. It's funny though $700 for the front nose of the bus when you can get a real bus for that price in some instances. anthony

| I guess that kit is quite popular over there. No wonder they will pay so much money for the real deal. |

I don't think that's an 'offical' VW emblem!

The engine tucks under the floor behind the front seats.
It is water-cooled. And that abomination is butt-ugly.

In one of his books, Harvey Penick, the golf guru said someone once asked him what he thought of the practice of using "Mulligans." His answer was that Mulligans made for a perfectly good game, but on the other hand, you could play golf.
After looking at this picture, I think I'll stick with my "project" 70 Westfalia. To paraphrase JFK, it is my objective to send a man (me) in a Bay to San O' and return him safely before the end of this decade.
