I've been pondering buying the kit plans myself. 
I have a very delapidated VW thing coming from my neighbors back 40.. 

the rockers are beyond salvage as is the rear end damage.. but i think the front clip is there good enough to make one of these.

I'll forgo the 2x4 clad in alum siding though, and use box steel tubing and a saftey cage built intot he frame/structure

as wella s a 2.0L TII motor in flat configuration.. 

definately an idea I've been considering adding to my fleet of unique VWs.

The coolest things is the sink and stove that can be used both inside 
and out. What a great idea
