This is a beautiful thing.
I mean...really...a beautiful Thing!


Located in New Brunswick Canada in the hands of a fanatical owner
who has truly gone through it from stem to stearn to make it the wonderful example that it is.


Loaded with nearly every possible accessory and cool add on that is available out there,
Including a very slick little matching trailer!


This is just a cool as they get...a car that someone has really
gone to town with and had a LOT of fun accessorizing and detailing out.
Its a conversation starter wherever it goes and a big hit at the VW shows!


Beautifully finished, always kept indoors and wiped with a soft cloth.
This is someones "baby" and it really shows.


Full roll cage , side curtains, top boot, reverse light, wheel trim rings...etc etc etc


Body mount mirror adaptors so you can easily remove the doors and still have your mirror!
Check out the fantastic side curtains with the sliding window like the old VW Bus.

In closing this is really a great car.
Well done, well detailed and something that obviously shows the results of a very loving and enthusiastic
owner that made it his pride and joy.
