To sell syncro or not to sell?

[Cooper]

Thinking of changing pop top to tin but then would also like a caravelle interior. Is it worth making changes to current van or selling it and buying a tin top caravelle?

[alfieboy]

Why don't you sell it and buy a nice transit,I hear they have a great forum

[lloydy]

what will changing to a tin top gain you exactly? just dont pop the top up if you dont want to use it

[Cooper]

I would like to fit a full roof rack. I dont want the exrta roof beds and i like the look of the tin top better.
Its more for full roof rack and fitting spot lights on roof.

I can probably change from pop to tin myself but it is hassle as i dont have a garage big enough and uk weather isnt great.

What would you do convert roof or sell vw and buy tin top?

Ahh..permission to speak has been granted...if I really needed a roof rack I would have to sell and buy a different van....changing roof tins is not easy to do, or is it easy to find a roof, or worth the effort..x


By different van I mean different syncro t3 van...not tranvestshite..

I suppose. Tis alot of work.

Just need to sell syncro and buy another one lol!

Indeed it is...and then there's the headliner to faff with...I personally hate rusted roof repairs and if I was buying a van that had had a roof welded on it would need to be extremely good before I would consider it...do you still have the gutters? Maybe a roof rack could be fitted over the pop top and removed? Or a towbar and trailer? What are you wanting to carry?

[Cooper]

I didnt think of the headliner.

Once i have the van/a van just how i want it im not going to sell it.

Need to find someone selling a tin top syncro.

I prefere the stream line look with them.

How tall are you?

Do you find the steering difficult in the wind?

[max and caddy]

I'm 5.10, dark hair, blue eyes.. Lots of room but its a vw hitop, it does catch the wind a bit but makes life interesting! It's not so much its difficult to steer in the wind...more its difficult not to! can blow off line a bit but nothing to major.
