retro conversion van
(a typical van during the before look)
thanks to "kevs news" for hooking me up with the idea of a kit van build out to an already existing cute little work horse van from subaru. funky to start exploring the idea & the design features involved in a mocked up original with new or adjusted characteristics of the old skool idea. the possibilities are endless. all these vans you'll see are in japan & various regions in asia since that's where the distribution of the original van was. adding more fuel to the fire of the daydream is the couple that just moved in from vancouver, bc bought a 1983 VW weekender van. time load up the boards, pack the coolers, layer up the suntan lotion, wax da boards.....& off to the beach we go. out here on the islands you really don't need alot of muscle in the surf vans, just some sun a spot of petro & a good swell.
(not your typical van after the mods)
