Fugly wheels! Would look loads better on OG 16s!

But, yeah, I agree on keeping the wheels with the Van for originality's sake!

He had the bull bars for sale last week, seems to be stripping it of any trakka parts. The guy who owns it is on brickyard

It did belong to Fran aka "rustydubnuts", I bought the 2.6 off him. Can't imagine what the new owner is thinking

yes but if you'd just paid well over the odds for it you might be trying to get some dosh back
nice wheels though for someone

strange that you cannot contact seller though - I didn't know you could switch that off when doing an auction - I guess he got grief about the bumper so doesn't want any more from the cogniscenti

I know I know, if anyone of us owned it we'd all keep it completely original, of course...
Just seems a shame, but it was built for Bushwhacking on OZ not UK greenlaning.

I personally thought the conversion was shoddy looking, especially the table and could pass as home made inside. Didnt think it was anything special at all and not a patch on a Westfalia and people sell bits off them all the time.

Would you think the same way if you had the only Westfalia in Europe though Jed?

There is a Trakka over here and not far from where I used to live. It too, was white but I have not seen it in quite a while. It was an 89 Syncro IIRC

This trakka in question was their top drawer, tick-all-the-boxes Bronco conversion and had a huge amount of history with it. Hey ho, it's not mine so why should I care?
