2002 Station Wagon anyone?

[AceAndrew]

Dave Berke's explanation is as follows.

Here is my 2002 station wagon. Quick summary, removed the rear glass. Cut the roof back to where it's flat. Removed the partition between the rear seat and trunk. Built a steel frame under the trunk floor out to the taillights and put vertical posts up in the rear corners to support the 2nd roof. Welded a beam where I cut the roof from the side to side. Cut the edges off the trunk lid and welded them to the body to continue the body lines. Then welded a roof from a 2002 over the trunk opening. Made a folding rear seat. Made a wooden frame where the back glass was and built a tailgate. Hope you like the picture.

Talked to Dave a little more and the reason for the build was to complete his Bachelors in 3d design in 1981! This picture was taken for a BMW calender in 2000.

I thought this was just too cool not to share.

Cool! Speaking of wagons, did SCR ever finish that pig cheek wagon?

^ that one's a photoshop

I was wondering if SCR ever finished that car, it's been years since any new pics have been posted.

That one at the top is interesting, I always wondered the back story on it.

The August 2013 Roundel has a letter and a picture from a David Berke of New York in his 2002 Baur Voll Cabrio.  Is that the same person?  Does anyone have contact with him, or know how to contact him?  His pic is on page 16 titled "A Baur Afternoon".  Any help greatly appreciated.

Anyone remember the VW 412?  There it is.  My brother had a nice one from an old lady friend of the family.  It spontaneously ignited and burned one night.  They were nicer cars than the old Type 3 squareback, I had two of those.  This looks like a Type 4 VW.
