I wanted to share a few photos of a project that my father has been working on....it started life as a transporter and was shaped into what you see before you. my dad did all of the modifications himself as well as a subaru 6 cylinder conversion....enjoy the pics

That thing is sweet as hell. It looks like it actually started as a Vanagon instead of a transporter. Was it a double cab? Any extension if the cab?

uhh.. he meant 7 pass vanagon (rather obvious

). some people refer to the vanagons or buses as "transporters" which is technically correct.
anyway that is totally cool...awesome job...and awesome welding skills!! i love how he shortened the sliding door to make the side door (it still slides??) and how he shortened the rear hatch..
your dad is a true master welder...
awwesome work... http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

**** me that looks good! And the rear "hatch" and the slider still work? Awesome work. Any more pics of the tailgate and bed area?

Re: (iamsuperdan)

I just noticed...mirrors look suspiciously like those on my 08 Jeep JK. Nicely done, they look like they belong on a Vanagon.

Re: (iamsuperdan)

the mirrors are off a new jeep...good call

My guess in the main headlights - a closer look I see the bottom of the headlight is red/orange?

Does anyone know anything about the mirrors? I like them for a non powered mirror option.
