Derek Brock's '69 Kombi ute
VW05TI
Derek's kombi has been a labour of love for over two years ... features Suburu Twin Turbo STI engine, auto transmission, 3.5-inch lift kit, 31-inch tall tyres, four-wheel disc brakes, power-assisted rack and pinion steering, as well as all of the luxuries like a TV and DVD player, etc ... often seen travelling the countryside blowing bubbles out of the back!

VW05TI ... the number plate means VW (Volkswagen), 05 (cause Derek is a 'Brock') and the 5 doubles as an S for STI (the engine!)

The signwriting is in line with the look of the car and was deliberately made to look old (the 'rat look') ...
