I’m always very honest with how much I spend on my projects. I always do a cost roll-up, and in all of my posts, I link back to articles showing all the parts and sweat I had to put into getting the vehicles into the shape they’re in.

You guys are jumping on DT while leaving out (disingenuously?) a major portion of his project write ups.

I always thought they looked great, and I heard they drove great too.

I think the problem can be traced back the fact that while the car is pretty Meh, it has the most awesome f**king name ever bestowed on a sedan. It sounds like it would slice a bitch in half over a parking space. It sounds like it’s rarety stems from the fact that it silently murdered everyone once factory assembly…

They are rare even here that we still get new Suzukis (Suzukii?) but I’ve always had a soft spot for them. They do look boring in photos but they have a sporty, aggressive instance in person that tells them apart from Corollas and the like.

Foresty Forest did a van build in a chevy uplander and another one in a Chevy Express van with a 4x4 conversion. Both looked great and were done kinda on the cheap

The problem with Vanagons is cost and age. You’re looking $10-15000 for 30-40 year old vehicle and Westfalias are more like $30000. You can find a lot of useful vans, minivans and SUVs for $5-10000. At the top end Westies are used Sprinter or home built Transit money.

I’ve got the bulked-up Jeep version and it runs like a champ.

It’s best to simply learn to swear in French and work on them yourself.

And my very first “good” 10spd was a used Peugeot OU8. Mine was white. Lovely cars, lovely bikes. That bike looks to be in…

The BMW X6 makes me physically ill every time I see it. 

9-year old Abarth and 5-year old S3 owner here. No issue, and lots of smiles

My dad owned a 404 sedan in Jamaica (RHD). He had a later model (‘72 or maybe a ‘74) because a few things had changed compared to this one. On his car, the dash was a different layout with round speedo and updated fuel and temp gauges and black crackle finish; black steering wheel with the horn ring; the seats were…

My family had an early 60's 403 wagon with 3 rows of seats, which looked like an ambulance with side-opening rear door. It had folding jump seats in the middle, and basically a large couch for the third seat. It was indestructible. I continued to drive it in high school even though it had been in a low-speed dirt road …
