don't do it keeps the cabin nice and warm and tidier also makes the van a lot more safer (stuff cant come forward when offroading or in a crash) secure,quieter and you can mount stuff on (put a taxi buddy seat on mine and mounted the highlift beside it). It also gives the van strength less likely to flex/twist, when offroading. Westy interior may need some trimming on the middle cabinet (between cooker unit and wardrobe) to make it fit but worth it to keep the bulkhead imhothink the bulkhead will come out and jan is looking for a good westy interior.

Agree, but you could put a door in the middle. It looks like a beauty. Will he go to Syncro25 with it?

Re: buying a syncro by proxy
Hellow everyone,
i am the lucky owner of the very beast! It is true that i nagged hotpod for years with questions and links until i found her. (and be asured there will be many more!)
After all, it was him as well who got me hooked.
I still haven't seen her in real yet, but i am desperatly in love allready and can't wait to drive her through spain. I guess nowadays it is normal to find his love over the internet, but i never thought i'd be choosing that path.
Unfortunatly i want make it to Syncro25, but Hotpod and me have a deal to go to Syncro30!
Anyway, just joined up to this forum and am hoping you will accept me in to your comunity and give me some much needed insights and advice. I will post some more pictures of my estonian beauty as soon as i can (propably still have to wait till may though).
Apart from having a heating, powerstearing and so on, she comes also with a case of estonian beer and some chocolate. As a swiss, i dought that the chocolate will be mind blowing, but the case of beer is very wellcome!
Best regards to you all from sunny spain,
swissy

Re: buying a syncro by proxy
Welcome to the Forum Swissy, fill out your details so we know where you are and ask as many questions as you like. There are a few 16" vans like yours on this forum and there is another one in the south of Spain belonging to an Irish chap called Mike. I can get his details together if you like.
Your van looks like a beauty and Ive been looking at it for ages on mobile.de, drooling.

Re: buying a syncro by proxy
Hello Swissy,
Have one myself but not camo anymore. You sound like I was when I first saw mine on 'The Samba' and got it from Mike Plompen@ Busman. Looks like an ex Finnish Army one.
Enjoy,
Tony
