  • That is so dope i could really use that

    Well, since we're about to live in this thing for 10 days, I thought I'd add some things

    309.jpg

    I intend to hide two group 31 stud-tops back here. In this view you can see the back of the hatch and gas door releases. The wire hanging down in the midground is for the OE rear dome light.

    guess i should drain the fishbowls :oops: I just redid my car's taillight gaskets, now it's time for these

    Get ready for this...here's a part of our cars that I've never seen (gasp!) I meant to take all of this out earlier for weight reduction, just never did...

    I lifted this idea from judebert. I just think it'll be cool to pull into a campsite, pop open the fuel door, and plug in :D

    Still very much in the mockup stages- I have to ponder awhile with a cold one sometimes to await inspiration. I'm also going to rewire the trailer lights to add the hatch lights. So far only the corner tail/stop/turn lights work.
  • nice work, can i ask what u might be doin with the filler neck now thats its not needed?

  • this has got to be the coolest thing i have ever seen. my jaw dropped while going threw this thread. im amazed on the creativity. keep up the good. work. whats next after you finalize the plug in?
  • Have to bump this, watched a RV show on Travel channel last night about teardrop trailers and made me think of this.
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    Thanks. Teardrops were what sparked the idea.

    I have the perfect shell to build another from...anyone?

    Let's see..
    Because it's something I enjoy, I'll slash the labor rate to $40/hr.

    I worked on this one every spare minute for about 3 months, I mean every night and all weekend. Conservatively I'd say 40 hrs./wk.

    A little math,,, carry the 3... about 20 grand. just labor.

    But for forum members, and since the design work is mostly done...

    I'll do the next one for $30,000 :wink:


    In other words, NO.
  • .. I am speachless. I mean yesterday I joked about putting a camper awning on my wago. I just.. I can't believe this really happened. That is amazing.

    Yea when you think about having to find the wagon, get the material, do the work, paint, blah, blah, blah, it would take 10 to 15k to build one of these.

    In other words, NO.

    The ultimate wago-camper would be b-pillarless on one side with suicide door on the rear so the doors open out kinda like a cupboard. Then have an awning coming out from the EDM roof rack. 8)

    New benchmark set Bam, go!
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    You're close, but not quite there yet.

    B-pillarless with both doors welded together to open gullwing style and double as an awning- now that's where it's at!

    but then there gonna ask where is your bathroom with the walk n shower and dual vanity sinks to powder there noses... :lol:
  • Flawless. But where does one go number 2? Perhaps a cleanly cut hole in the bottom somewhere?

    lol this is nuts.

    haha I don't blame you! So much work and attention to detail. Would be tough to recreate.
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    Yeah, and besides that there's an even greater amount of work involved in making the wagon into a capable tow vehicle. I feel very comfortable with it- so much so that I can sleep while pebbles drives!
  • Now THAT, is comfort...

    I am getting ready to build my Wagon trailer...

    I am hoping my A6 w/JRSC on an S.I. Trans will be strong enough to tow it.
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    Do it! I want to have a campers meet.

    I still have another shell, ready for a camper build...anyone?
  • DRMORTYDRMORTY Council Member
    I got some cool ideas for mine... Just wait..

    I am going to weld my frame in lower, so the bed doesn't mess with the door panels.. Plus, a little more head room..

    I have a CRX shell too, I was considering building both, but the wagon just seems to be the better way to go..
  • DRMORTYDRMORTY Council Member
    Hope, I can get the front as clean as yours
