This is all over FB today. I can't find info on who is building it though.

I don't know why... but I like where this is going... |
I know why. Because if you are going to fuck something up, you might as well fuck it up so bad that it becomes one of the most awesome fuck-ups ever conceived.
I love it!

I really think they were after a dirt track modified vibe......And that Chapparall - was that a bitchin concept or what? Surprised that Smokey Yunick hadnt tried that with a stock car.

| I met the owner of that unimog, when I had my mog a few years ago. It is extremely well done, the VW was the perfect donor for the camper box back section. Not an abortion by any stretch. Oh, and 8 speeds forward, 4 in reverse, with about 110hp. |
