If anybody followed along with this set of projects, a guy might have some stock Dickie hard plastic wheels sitting around after doing the swap for Italeri semi-trailer tires. Eventually ya wonder what can ya do with them?
I'm just using a magnet on this test, but if you pop off the vw logo it's got a perfect location hole for a permanent tire mount.
If we hang a tire off the nose, it's usually to free up some interior space for something. So might as well yank the middle seat and start on making a galley...
Clearly it needs paint and more details, but it doesn't look too bad in there, even with leaving the full back seat so we'll say it's a Kombi and not a full time Camper.
If i roll this way, i'd take out the seat supports in the floor. Maybe even build the closet, bed, other storage. I dunno.
This might work. Green tire cover was planned for green one, but i'm already pretty happy with the interior on it. So it time to abuse red one as a test mule. Although building into a camper would quickly turn a Van build into what the scale rc truck people call a 'dollhouse truck'. I might have even been considering making parts to turn red one into a Westfalia poptop...
Anyway, have some Vw camper ads
