Awesome to hear! I’ll bring an iPad the end of this week so we can start thinking about where to mount it. Thanks for the update Pat! My mom is so excited to camp in this thing!

The motor is hanging on the tranny!!!!!!!!!!! 😀  😀  😀  😀   For this to be ready for Baja… I think it needs to stay at the very tip top of the clean shop’s lists….. KB. we have a lot of mechanicals to figure out in the next 99 or so days… 😀

Thats funny..  😀   There is nothing I have to add to this project.  It is outside my skill level. 🙂  🙂  🙂  Except maybe that dent in the rear hatch.. I could handle that.. 😉  😉  😉  😉  😉  😉

I’m with you John! I feel like I’m at a VW show looking at all the custom water coolers!! I can tell they are “built” and custom, but I have no idea what I’m looking at!!! 😉  😉  😀

That’s a big vanagon! Such a cool stance with the new wheels and tires. New light bar too! 👍🏼

I’m glad Pat is on it. Hes cleaning up the wiring.  Next on my list is to figure out all the supplies I’m going to need to modify the coolant connections, build a intake manifold, air filter, and exhaust. Its going to be fun. Bunch of fab.
