germanlook panelvan

theres one brewing!

buying a 76 baywindow panelvan tomorrow.. rustfree, cheap as chips, lowered, monochrome paint.. bargain!! ...the plan for now is to stick one of my spare motors in it ( AD1600, prog weber, dual q/pack) and just get some use out of it, but early next year it will get my mates porsche design 90's fitted to it, then the fun starts!

weird thing is that its already painted light blue! its gonna be the crew van for the eurobug!! lol!

anyone got any mad ideas for it? or pics of similar vans for inspiration?

will post pics of the van in "as is" condition next week hopefully...

I think I've seen videos of that bus racing some people, it is INSANE.

As for Bren's new bus, if you airbag it, it will be easier to load heavy parts into it.

Yeah, that's the ticket, it will be strictly a functional mod, to level out the van, and to make it easier to load. Nothing to do with looks...
