Looks pretty cool. I'll definitely keep an eye on this.
As someday, I'll actually be able to afford a new tub... I hope.

Thats a very fair price, what about the petrol tanks? this tub appears to be based on the later 79+ model. This is good news for people across the pond as they don't have much of on option other than import from the middle east or a full aluminum tub from Canada.

Vous parlez anglais tres bien. Je vais essaier practiquer mon francais.

Ceci c'est un tres bon produit. C'est meillure que les tubs de Aqualu de British Colombia, je pense. Vous avez tous les formes des tubs originaux. Les tubs Aqualu sont comme des boites.

Le prix est tres bon aussi. Le probleme est le prix du transport. Peut etre il y a quelque compagnie ici qui peut vendre les tubs ici. Je pense que ils vont etre tres populaire.

Mes deux centimes..

We need a translation button somewhere on MUD, now that we are a multinational group .

Those tubs look amazing! It's amazing that someone with the talent to fix a Dusenburg ( sp?) or Bugati, might work on Land Cruiser. I guess people that know style work on Land Cruisers.

You are aware that Aqualu makes an aluminum tub? www.aqualu.com

3000 euro = 3600 USD

An Aqualu full tub is 4100 USD

What would shipping be from France to the US?

You speak English very well. I will test practiquer my French. This it is a very good product. It is meillure which the tubs of Aqualu de British Colombia, I think. You have all the forms of the original tubs. The tubs Aqualu are as limp. The price is very good too. The problem is the price of transport. There can be is some company here which can sell the tubs here. I think that they will be very popular. My two centimes.

lmao on the translation software. actually, it's pretty good. but I didn't mean to say Aqualu tubs are limp, I meant "like boxes". I've got Aqualu so I know. the great thing about his tubs is they retain what looks like all the factory shapes.

My wife could tell you good job and very nice craftsmanship for me in French but she isn't here so English will have to do.

That is very nice work.

Bonjour salut!

I likt the factory style ribbing on the fender. If you could incorporate the ribbing on the side fender and floor I think it'd be even more appealing

Are you interested to have a salespoint in germany?

These Tubs do look nice and germany could be a interesting market for you.

You even doing the older style bodys with the inside fuel tank?
