looking for a syncro [at last]

As per the title, if you could keep your informed eyes open for me. Ideally looking for a camperized one or a caravelle/kombi
At the moment i have about 3.5k, that will rise to about 8k when my 2WD sells. I know i won't get a camper for 3.5k, but might get a kombi?
Would be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks, Lloyd

A place to start

Cheers, have been following stuff on that site for a while. Always seems a bit daunting buying blind from abroad. Plus i know me i won't want to come back with nothing, and might panic buy.
Looking at a couple, one from patrik of vw-tristar, a white kombi with a awful interior [which will be replaced anyway], and a red caravelle from busman, which only has the rear locker. Both are cheap enough to buy and convert to a camper

Who's crankinwagen? I like the ambulances. The multivan is very nice, but how much would it be?

Crankinwagen is also known as Dave and posts on here occasionally.
