More questionable customizations -
Do it yourself Westy interior
Is that the Mazda logo?
Breach the space/time continuum
Food truck?
Your chariot awaits your highness...
Just blend in with the scenery
Painter: "What color do you want?"
Owner: "All of them"
Paint party!
Coffee shop on wheels
Shark mouth placement just a little off

Some of the customizations are quiet thoughtful, especially the water over the sink in the postcar.
Way more cool than buying all the GW stuff and big rims and make the car look like all the others with the GW stuff and the fat rims.
Don´t spare the awning.  |

Some people should have their paint privileges revoked.

the nice thing is that some of those fugly painted vans are in good shape mechanically and non-rusted
if you find one like that, it could be a great buy
just get out your brush & roller and it could be a nice smooth yellow

Perfect anti-theft idea! Gotta get me a “cone van-ishing cloak”. Brilliant.
Edit; (Even better that you can’t actually get in. Think of the money saved!)

Although we cannot see the drivers side. It has fuel cap, so at least you can spend money on fuel.

Great idea, take a brick and make it even less aerodynamic. And who needs peripheral vision?
