Hi All
I built the chopped roof van . It had v6eng/box from mk4 zody . I sold it in about 1980,never saw it again . Was a sad day when it went ,as I had owned that van for many yrs . It looked rough ,but was built very strong . Never had the funds at the time to finish it !
The BBQ came about from what was left after I started to drop the body over the rails (channel)on that one . Neighbours complained of too much noise and junk on the drive so I was pressurised into getting rid of it ! Had it all cut ready to drop by 6"over the rails . Hey ho !
Got build pics somewhere of the chopped one if anyone interested.
Regards...........
