    That's beautiful. Utterly beautiful. My only complaint is that the tires look a bit big, I don't really care for the off-road look.

    Beauty. But they need to shrink the tires, and get more chrome on the scene. Oh and a candy apple red respray. :rock:

    Well, they said that they got it with the enlarged wheel-wells, and they plan to fill them back in the future. In which case, this is pretty sweet.

    It does look horrible with the larger tires though. :)

    Nice, but agree with the tyre comments - they look stupid.

    The nicest camper I ever saw was a 60s splitscreen. It was maroon/cream coloured, and even had a trailer made from the back half of a VW Bug...it was lovely!

    Great engine and power, but I do not like VW vans.

    I can only imagine the headaches after driving around with the engine exposed like that.

    That's a typical american transformation. Just slap a big V8 in and be done with it... I mean, just look at the way the back lifts up, and indeed the camber changes. I don't think that can be safe :confused:

    I like this one better, I think this transformation is better executed, and especially the handling has been much improved :D



    Hmmm... Footage from Spa-Francorchamps :clap:

    They're both very cool projects - the last one is fairly impressive, but not really that much of an achievement really - the GT3 is slightly faster in the corners, and the van just has a massive engine. Still a good job though, I'll bet there's some Porsche suspension components in there to handle that crazy rear-engine.
