Looks like the rear is from Rocky Mountain Westy, Van Cafe has them. The front I can't figure out, but I would purchase it if I knew. One of, if not the best front bumper I have seen on a Westy.
@@Syncrogreg Beautiful vehicle. Did you buy donor vehicle for westfalia kitchen parts or did your 750$ buy also have functioning parts, it just needed engine work? Further how long did this project take?
@@andersonfuller it was a passenger Syncro that I bough $600 then I bought a blue 1983 westy for $500 and also a 1989 westy for $1800 ....3 vans into this one
@@Syncrogreg I am so happy for you those are great prices. Was transforming a passenger van into a westfalia difficult? I have thought about buying a functional syncro and a donor westfalia.
@@andersonfuller thanks mate. If I had to do it again i would probably find a good camper and adapt the Syncro subframe parts to it. The roof is a project as well as all the cabinetry...
Really great work. I really interested to learn more about the kitchen unit with Wallas hob and separate sink. Is there a link available to more info on this?
@@JackAcid I'm across the pond and we call them T3 (transporter 3), T25 if you want to be more technical. Vanagon is strictly US. I'm restoring and 84'. Was about to wack a 1.9tdi inside but swaps are illegal here - bummer. Might just soup up the JX and make it more reliable. Expensive hobby lol
Where are you guys located Gregoire ? Vous parlez français ? Are you from France ? Check out 2019 Toyota Hiace Touring or Grandia. How long did it take you guys to convert your westfalia into an expedition ready rv ? Also does boxeer create engines which can be used for any make any model or just vw wesfalias ? Why did you guys choose an older westfalia instead of a newer model or some other make and model ? I prefer Japanese engineering automobiles for their dependability and reliability.
oh dear...amazing, but costs?? And time worked out as manpower? Easy to say only paid $500 from start. Of course you have something unique now and worth 15k maybe..but how much did you pay for the conversion?
Why diesel engine ? I am considering getting a gas powered Toyota Hiace for similar adventures. Will need to have it lifted to improve ground clearance and change the tires from regular to all terrain tires for better traction.
We carry only one energy : diesel . It powers our cooktop webasto diesel space heater and engine! Safe fuel that won't blow us up on a highly modified vehicle. Fuel efficiency 30mg gasoline can do 20 at best on these rigs
@@Syncrogreg So you would recommend i get a diesel Toyota Hiace then and convert from panel van to rv van,even though diesel cost more than regular gas.
d'accord! merci pour l'info ! syncro revu sympa, mais ici mettre un tdi nous met hélas hors la loi : ( . par contre je vais surement commander les pièces pour inverser la banquette, je trouve l'idée cool...
Gregoire - I honestly don't understand - you found a T3 Syncro for $500????!!! most I see start at around $17,000? did you make it a Syncro? I'm lost; did he start with a non-syncro and make it a Syncro? I think all of us would try to copy this build if we had a Syncro for $500 to start with!
As a fabricator I am strongly considering using an entire Audi QUATTRO drivetrain flipped upside down in my free tintop Vanagon. I think the rear open differential should drive the front wheels just fine. I now have a FWD Audi A4/VW B5 Passat transmission inverted being propelled by a MK4 ALH TDI engine in my 66 splitty bus. It is freaking amazing. This will be my course of action to create my own sacred SYNCRO propelled by a 280 HP 3.6 VR6 from a B6 Passat/Q7 Audi SUV. Yeah baby.
I just got one for free six days ago. I am still in disbelief!!! I don't believe it there was also a Westy with an inline 1.6D that also just just 2 days ago for only $2,500. It was pretty awesome but with some surface rust however it had no title. Mine did and only rust is the lower windshield sill. The rest is STRAIGHT. I think I will likely swap a 3.6 Audi Q7 VR6 in there. 280 HP should move it along quite well. My 66 splitty bus has an ALH TDI. Goodness I adore these machines.
@@Syncrogreg - The music isn't terrible, just super repetitive which gets fatiguing to viewer. Maybe break it up with moments of no music then play a diff tune? Just my two cents...
Dude this is probably the most impressive van project I've seen around here, mad respect!
Beyond jealous of this build. It's insane!
Beautiful build & incredible editing
Incredible build and incredibly edited video. Just enough without being too long. Soundtrack great as well!
Love seeing how all this came to be! Had no idea just how much work you put into that beast!
Fantastic job. Your westie looks bad-ass in its element.
Loved seeing that build on theSamba. Nice vid too
Sick Build - wish we had your engine
Kombi Life, with a Boxeer engine your trip would have been just a boring A to B commute!
You guys will always be remembered as the ones that made it against all odds!
Is that a Subaru Boxer diesel?
Bet its the other way around thanks to CB performance
Awesome build and a great edit on the video. Keep up the great work legend!
my favourite car since childhood.
Wow! Your editing skills to the music is nuts!! Love this build video!! 💚
Great work, the Syncro the video the music everything...
very nice work congratulations
So many cool features on this van!
Awesome van! Love the part when the engine fires up. I like how off-road oriented this build is.
love those passat b5.5 wheels.
Major respect! That’s a perfect build right there!
Wow sehr schöner Trip 👍
Genießt eure Zeit..
Viel Spaß bei euren weiteren Reisen!
Hoffe man sieht öfter was ☺️✌️️
Outstanding.
What a crazy build ...
Just realized you posted a build out video. Awesome to see the transformation. You're a legend, Greg!
Awesome work!
Super sick!!
What a great video, that van is perfect!
Great build man, love that tire and paint
Genial transformación!!!! Enhorabuena!!!!
I've followed your journey. What a great adventure !
Great build, it's inspired me to get some work done on mine.
Edited like a boss!

So sick
You built my dream car!🔥😍
this is such a well made video. peak #vanlife
Amazing bro...
Never, ever tell yourself you can’t get a synchro stuck. Great fun.
This is amazing
wow wow wow wow
Legend!
Great build. Engine? Power? 👍
Was this originally a tin top? Did you convert it to a Poptop?
Sick.
World Cup league!
Hey.
The front and rear bumpers Looks awesome!!!!
Where do i get them?
Greetings to every Syncro-Lovers ;)

Is that a syncro? I don't see the 4WD on the front of it or the syncro metal word on the rear of the vehicle?
Yes Syncro. I have no plastic crap on my van so badges have to go ;-)

That is bad ass
Super cool build video. Mind sharing how much it cost?
LOVE IT !! great Engine !!
A Dream!!
Which remix of `Disclosure - When A Fire Starts To Burn` is this?
C2C Remix
The ultimate campervan. I'm scared to ask how much this project cost...?!
If you start a project like this, money mustn't be an issue.
@@gramoukdoom I would imagine! I have a 1986 Vanagon (in the UK we call them T25's) undergoing some restoration. I adore it. Best purchase ever.

What kind of wheel set did you put on this van in the video? And what kit did you use for the rear disc brakes? Thanks!!

What was the total restoration cost? I wanna know if it would be cheaper to buy a good conditioned one or buy a cheap one and then fix it up.
I don't suppose you were in Chile in 2015?
3:28 - 3:30 Is El Tecolote Beach, 3:34 - 3:35 San Evaristo/El Mechudo, Baja Sur, México??? I live there!!!!
Niiiiiiiiccceeeeee!
I love the color, do u know the color code?
Would like to know if the stock motors are easy to work on or fix?
Is it possible to build another one ... ?
Yes it's what I do
Wich types of engine is it?
Can you please tell me where you got that induction stove top?
hello, what are the rims of the wheels you have called?
I wish I knew how to do this any tips on learning how to rebuild
I would love to this with mine, but I also want to use mine... :)
Name of the song plizzz🙏🙏
I love that colour. Want it for my bus too! Name of colour?
oh dear...amazing, but costs?? And time worked out as manpower? Easy to say only paid $500 from start. Of course you have something unique now and worth 15k maybe..but how much did you pay for the conversion?
luter82 worth far more than 15k
I agree Reece. I have more than that in my van. What the Westy wants the Westy gets.
More like $35K
Congratulation 😍 🚐 , how many time?

awesome build up - i'd love to do that with mit t3 - but no money :D
Could you make a video about your interieur build. I would be very interested how youve modified that westy kitchen
beautiful syncro! I want the same !!
the wheels come from which model?
ivadavis Passat 2004. Centerbore in front need to be enlarged
ok merci ! il faut donc élargir les trous pour les goujons? il faut également des cales ?
Non pas de Cales. I'll faut elargir le trou central pour Les roues avant

2:42 is that a real 22B?
สั่งเครื่องกับชุดช่วงล่างยังไง...

Is that a Subaru engine you installed in there?
$750 for a running rust free tin top? WTF. Makes me cry over my rusty running Westy in need of an engine and all mechanicals, PLUS rust remediation.
