I think I said the same thing earlier... I'd be fine with that one if they'd just done the headlights in a way that matched. The square top corners ruin the whole design of the entire van and make it go from a bold design choice to a hack job. Doh! |

Agreed - the Splittie type windows are a nice touch too. _________________ .... |

while it's almost admirable to come up with your own DIY solution.
adapting this nylon tent wasn't quite it.
all of the work of replacing your top.
Saving $300
but still having it not quite right
priceless.

also took off the bumper for a performance exhaust... yeah that's always smart..

^^^ Just like the silver one! Pritschenwagen lockers and probably a 2.1 auto?

Looks like a STAHL body kit, but the lamps are different

Didn't know it was a Single cab until I saw the door in the center. I was wondering where the slider was. The mobile.de ad says it's a 37kW motor (50hp diesel?) I guess since you're gone, there isn't a need to get you in the ground any time soon.

One of the few good design features of the Vanagon is that it looks good. Kill that, and you kill das auto. _________________ .... |

Looking at this van is sort of like running into that ex-girlfriend that used to be super hot, but has gained a ton of weight.
You can still see the thin person in there peeking out at you.
