Hmmm... I have to be a prude and say I don't think much of the wheels or the awful bumpers.. and it could be a little lower... but on the plus side, the poptop is the neatest idea ever, the jarrah floor and stainless steel furnishings look frickin awsome as... and I'd never be one to complain about having 3 and a half litres of shiny growling V8 in the ass-end of a kombi! 👍

Gives us somthing to aspire to.... 🤪

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely,and in good condition- but rather tossed in sideways - Beer in one hand - chocolate in the other - body totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride"

yes, the poptop is amazingly subtle

the bumper, i think it's just the best of many bad compromises we seen over the years. Wouldn't do much for the departure angle.

I'd also be a little concerned that it's a bog stocker auto. I'd have thought it'd need stronger clutches or something.

and 27 grand...well it'd had be as special as he says to get near that.

well I was asking 22k actually. And it's not a Baja, it's a buggy. you might be surprised how much work went into it.

have a look here if you're interested.

BTW, the point I was making was that he'll be lucky if people pay what it's worth.

not so much ex[ensive... and I'd assume not too hard... but you'
d need a plan and a fairly good idea of what you are doing before you started...cos given the right conditions (clueless idiot with powertools...ie. yours truly...)it could get messy... :duh :P

How can someone spend 40k on something and have a bumper on it that looks as awful as that?
Goes to show that money can't buy taste.
