Very cool build. About a year ago I saw a Barbie Van in a thrift store, and I thought about grabbing it to do something with it; figured I'd never get around to it and it would take up space. Now I regret not nabbing it! :P

good work bro projects like this are never finished, you can always add more, like a dio. I had 12's in 74 - 77? and my sis finally had this van ah man that I wanted one for my Joes! only had the puny big Jim van, very squeezed... a mobile HQ is waaay better! improvements while you did most important stuff, you could tighten the windows with a paint stripper, very lightly a piece of cloth would finish the floor nicely pieces of cardboard to fill the small gaps paint the shower and other parts a dif colour I d have loved to see more Joes around the van, not just driving, [had this guy] maybe tie a rope on the front, and pull it in the backyard for a ride, it can surely drift on asphalt, D, I had a Tonka jeep I pulled with my bike as a kid, all metal or most, banging the sidewalks, maaan, that was an action jeep! jumps and all, never broke! perhaps you should find one and do the pair as my logo suggests, I m a fan still. have an fj cruiser, and have my logos on each side, same blue as my Tonka, but Toyota, D ah, I still want to find me a vintage Joe, I have a deluxe Cobra Commander, a fake Joe and 6's now, classifieds, and I have 4 dios. I d really want the 50th an version, it was cool as heck. so now you know... good show bro

You did an awesome job! Really inspiring me. I recently acquired a 1988 Mattel Barbie camper van and am planning on rehabbing it into a Gi Joe support vehicle something similar to the 1972 Gi Joe mobile support vehicle, since it features a similar mechanic where the front of the vehicle detaches from the back and can travel independently.
