Hi All
Have been wild camping for 40 odd years. Always preferred small self built, stealth style vans. I have always wanted to combine my 2 passions Hotrodding and kite buggy/surfing. This is my latest creation, Built in 6 months. During a VERY quite Christmas period (Work wise).Most parts including the van were bought via E-Bay.
The old engine and box have been replaced with an Audi A4 1.9 TDI unit. Disc brakes from the Audi were also used. All work (apart from reupholstered front seats ) was carried out by myself.
I must say the public’s reaction to this van has been unbelievable. Smiling faces, waving, looks of disbelief, people flagging me down to talk.. It has been a wonderful experience so far. Even had folks queuing up for tea/coffee when we open the hatch at the beach.
