This has been a three-year plus husband and wife project to make our super clean show bus but now regretfully we must let all of it go! We have well over $25k into this project so our loss is your gain. Just put a high-torque motor in her and she'll be ready to fly to the next VW car show or coffee and cars. $22,000.00 OBO.
