Yeah - I'm putting my faith into the energy of the Sambar universe, and will do this project whenever the van gods decide to smile down on me. In the meantime, send Cali-registered vans my way for good karma.

Hi folks, I had lined up the purchase of another van (from a respected member here, who for now will remain anonymous) on an agreed price, then finally let go of my current shell. I sold my shell to a guy named Carlos around Wilmington. I then went to get the other van, and the seller (then the resp...

SHELL FOR SALE? I know this may seem like it's coming out of nowhere, but is anybody interested in buying my shell? Don't worry - I'm not throwing in the towel, but I may have found another van for more money that has a title and is registered - and I'm a bit paranoid about the CHP/DMV after a bad ...

Here's a revised image that is a better comparison:



Opinions as to whether the right rubber would work?

OK - thanks for all of the phone conversations, folks! I've talked to Roger, Garm, Paul in Pomona, and Jorge over the past 48 hours - you guys have been very helpful. From people who are familiar with windshield rubber, is this what the rubber to fit the repop windshields is supposed to look like? h...

Unless you take a different van to the inspection, lol ;) Yes - this would be much easier! I talked on the phone with Paul in Pomona - I'm not sure if I'm going to take that frame or not, but thanks for giving me a heads up. I also talked for quite a while with Roger - I'm likely going to buy a win...

George and Roger are always very helpful. George gave me a lead on a fellow member getting rid of a chasis, I want to keep most of the parts on it but you are welcome to the bare chasis. It needs work if you want to use it or you can possibly use it as a template for you're custom chasis. Paul Paul...

It sounds like you need a 360 education; if you're inclined to come by my house in Arcadia, I'll share what I've learned. Yes - I totally need an education... agreed! I'm digging through the board posts and BOR, slowly. Roger... if you're serious, I'd love to come by your house, chat, and look at y...

Yeah 2stroketurbo - I saw your video of you cutting the back off of a 360, which explains why an all-tube frame approach would be easier than part-tube / part-original: YuAGEoZ2xNM As a bit of history on my van shell, it apparently was previously owned by "Altruistic Foreign Auto Repair" -...

I need to take credit for helping you find this shell, so I get dibs seeing it when finished. I saw your other projects online, I can't wait to see what you end up doing with this shell. Welcome to the club, Jorge Yes - thanks a ton, Jorge! I owe you one! And Roger - not to worry - I'll make sure e...

Hi there. I recently picked up a Subaru 360 Sambar Van shell off of Craigslist in Barstow, and hauled it back to Orange County.
