Spanish utes were front engine front wheel drive for a period. There was a pic of one in either Volks World or Ultra VW a little while ago.

type 3 engine sounds like a cool idea, or even 2l kombi, or if you wanted to continue down the rare path, how about a supercharged corvair flat 6?
150hp could be fun

Is this 'cornering' concern a myth?... It would seem to be of little consequence given that fact just about everyone I have ever seen doesn't look
like its ever fallen over.... The centre of gravity seems to be very low and well within the track and wheelbase, so I'd suggest the handling would
be on par if not better than most contemporary vans of the time....

Hey Jeremy, how ya been mate. Bongos are cool but they're hard to find in good nick these days. I reckon a rotor in the back would probably wheel
stand off every set of lights. Those Bongos dont weigh that much.

How did she go Rhett? Hey while we are talking bout it, I was looking at some pics of Commer front suspension, and it looks like it wouldnt be all
that hard to make a set of lowered king pin carriers.

there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.
