Nice. I keep thinking I want to get a Westfalia. Good thing I'm broke. Helps with indecision.  ;D

Yeah, you and me both.   If I had the cash, I would buy a double cab Syncro in a heartbeat. There was an SVX powered one that went for $14k on samba 6 mo ago.  Was perfect - exactly what i wanted.  Couldn't swing the cash.

You could do the swap yourself easily enough and CO is the land of Subies! Even a good JDM one is only $450.

I can easily buy a complete car for $1000-1200 and then part the unused stuff for $800-1000.  But not for flipping.  For a keeper, hell yes.

I've always wanted to chop one down and make a trailer out of it. So, I could pull all my goodies to show's.

I'll post my sketches when I get home from the desert, that's if I remember.


Good looking ride...

Why chop it down?  Rip out the seats, leave the engine in it and you have an enclosed trailer you can drive.  Heh.  Like my Panel Van, really.
