In the Vespa world these are called ‘bodges’ and are indicative of multiple Asian Vespas welded together into death traps and then painted nice new shiny colours and shipped stateside to be sold to unsuspecting newbies. No reputable mechanic will go near them, not even the backyard folks.
I’m new here but I suspect there is a certain amount of that in this community as well.

Other than the 3 extra inches of stretch negating the use of LJ tops, it's not all that much different than a TJ6 mod. Frame pics should have been a prerequisite to placing the ad though.

Devil's advocate, from what I could see of the frame it's hard to tell exactly where they welded in the stretch section, and the exterior body work didn't look like a hack job. My biggest complaint is the obvious disregard for the wheel well placement.
If you're going to go that far with a mod at LEAST make sure the wheel wells are actually 100% over the tires.
How about 5 rows of seats?
How about selling me one set of doors?

Doesn't look terrible....the frame is not sagging nor is the body. I'm not sure about the approach or departure angles though.

Break over might be tough on a speed bump.
I was just going to share this guy's post but it's in a group, then there's those people who can't/won't look at bookface, and I couldn't in good conscience deprive them of this master piece of "WTF were you thinking?".
I hope it has airbags so it can raise up go over the speed bumps at the Mall.
So...
Should I thank you for going to the trouble of sharing this with those of us who refuse facesuck, or should I hate you for not leaving it there?
Either way, what an abomination!
My old eyes see the front tag reading Manitobe and the rear tag Manitoba.
