It's certainly a bit different. I'm intrigued by the description of the interior as "vandalised" though. "Stripped" might be closer to the mark.

cheers

I actually saw one in North Melbourne Vic fitted with a holden V8. The twin pipes were the only thing that gave it away.

I have seen one at toronto west NSW fitted with a 351 cleveland porsche gearbox also seen one with a leyland P76 lots of EJ subaru engines but never a red motor.
Sounds like an old farmer they try to use anything laying around like the trruck looking radiator no matter what they do they all have a ugly radiator fitted to the front.

Maybe someone should write a book of what red and grey motors have been fitted too.

I've seen a very potent one with a Peugeot V6 in it, not sure how he kept the front end on the ground though ;D

At the end of the day you can only push a block of flats so fast no matter how much power you have.

Dunno Pete that guy in that clip is pushing that block of flats pretty fast ;) ;D, and making it go round corners, wicked, now I wouldn't mind driving a Kombi like that.

The only advantage a i can  see is if you were in the back with a lady friend and someone was driving extra fast for a thrill.

Hmm has me thinking.

Anyone wanna drive a kombi for me..
