Your passengers in the back have a built-in vibrating seat.

It looks like they have some skills and put a lot of money and work into it. None of it is the direction I would take. The spoilers and wheel arches are skillfully done but unfortunately, Hall of Shame styling. The engine choice and layout is an abomination. I like the paint colors.

Norwegian bloke with a long history of putting twin turbocharged amercan v8's in various cars. Among others an Opel Rekord and a Mercedes w124 in addition to this insane Vanagon.

I kind of don't understand the air intake location. Inside the engine compartment in what looks like a closed off area? No fresh German air coming in?

I would attach a picture but it wont let me.

It has sure a monster of intercooler in the front.
What i miss, is a flat cover all under the car.
Without this, the van starts to fly over 200km/h

I really like the extended wheel arches. Just perfect.
The side planks and rear bumper are also very good.
The front bumper is a little too wild for me, the front a little too low, and the sides are very in your face style.

Here are 4 pics I saved on thesamba in 2013 from this amazing van.
Source here, but i guess you need to be a member now or something (cannot read the language):

If i would have linked it, it would be lost today.
Save the pics on thesamba!!! Its so easy now!!!
