Excellent find Seth,I love the look of this and never knew what it was till now.
Would love to build something similar out of my Rickman. ;D

Something similar would suit going on a 4x4 chassis, move the engine back so it was between/below the front seats and chop the pedal mounts out of the bulkhead and most of the rest of the mechanical stuff is reasonably basic, lots of 4x4s had steering boxes instead of rack and pinion so will be easier to set up for forward control, could be built to avoid BIVA as well i reckon as moving the engine shouldn't entail serious chassis mods.

The SWB version is very cool, needs fogged panel paint and some crazy sign writing though.

I seem to recall that they used boonie bugs in the film Total recall or similar ? I've seen the red finished one before but not the blown up illustration ... very cool  ( Isn't the braker box actually called the Brubaker box ?? I may be wrong though ) |

You've been telling me you were a genius since you were seventeen ... in all the time I've known you I still don't know what you mean !

That's pretty awesome. I reckon it would go okay on a Beetle pan as well. I'm not sure why you would want to shorten the van for camping though. The standard Kombi camper is pretty cramped as it is!

SWB better off road, give up some internal space and get further out into the "boonies"
