Kool Kustom 356 Van

Check out this 356 van. I think it's great.

But it's not very practical...

Ain't any fibreglass in this baby...

nicely done but i prefer the standard 356 variants

Umm yes, I don't think I'd choose it over a standard 356. The bits that I really like are the deep black paint and those white wall tyres.

eek that's one expensive van based on a 356!

Not my cup of tea, then again not a great lover of 356's

That’s absolutely lovely, even if it is impractical.

Y’know, there’s just about enough space above the engine there to fit a really impressive sound system … it would make a show-stopping cruiser for custom car rallies.

Mmmm, I'm unsure about this one.

I admire the effort and the skill involved but to do this to a 356 seems such a waste.

whats that in the back ?

Is it to keep the take away warm while being delivered ?

or is taj ma garaj not an indian take away ?

I like it, would be great with a water cooled engine in though!

what !

a watercooled 356 ?

I think that would be worse than the bodywork "change" !

lindsayhbrown · Post by **lindsayhbrown** » Fri Jan 04, 2008 11:14 pm

what about a 3.3 turbo (aircooled of course !), i'm sure the bodywork could be tweaked again to fit

If you don't like the idea of them converting a 356 into a van, you definitley won't like what they did to this one....

...

Even I don't like this.

The Taj Ma Garaj isn't a Indian take away, but a motor museum. Check out there web page here... http://www.tajmagaraj.com/collection.php (Not all the cars are as crazy as this.)
