NBVD!

I'm such a van guy... just unreal levels of envy. My drummer in highschool (late 90s) had a 60s vw all built out in the back like that, poor condition but cool. I've also known a lot of van dwellers here in pdx and this rivals most. Due to kids and reliability concerns, I settled on an newer minivan with a roof top tent myself but in my heart, it's one of those.

My most beloved van was an 86 Toyota Van LE. Best $1200 I ever spent on a vehicle. Mine was blue but I had plans to do a pseudo B.A. Baracus inspired look kind of like this.

Good score, dude.

That's pretty rad!

I played rugby in college and one of my coaches had a van like this, except the entire back was a bed with padded walls and drapes and shit. It looked like an opium den, basically.

On of my favorite memories is when me and a Japanese dude on my team named Yoshi chilled in the back of that van smoking weed and drinking whiskey the entire time while Coach Todd drove us from Vegas back to Southern California after a rugby tournament. Best trip home from Vegas ever.

Here's to many good memories with that thing!

Ha! I was going for a retro van aesthetic for the AionFX Spectron pedal that I'm building and this van matches up kinda nicely. It's going on a winked silver enclosure:

That will look good. I did this one on the metallic champagne.
I couldn't settle on a design I liked, so I copied this one, but my inspiration was from 70s vans (which you can see from the colors used).

@Nostradoomus that is a killer van dude!
