This time around, this is what is being added:

All said and done, McGreggor spent over $75,000 on this Westy back in 2008. It would cost at least $85,000 to build the same Westy today. He put only 13,602 miles on it.

Yeah, this is a good deal.

What else would be NICE to add? How about:

• Portable winch that can fit front or rear
• Updated stereo with Bluetooth hands-free cell phone interface
• Black leather Recaro front seats and matching front door panels
• South African black leather steering wheel
• Fresh transaxle with custom gearing
• Front locker (third knob on Syncro panel)
• Torque-biasing differentials front and rear
• Larger tires
• And, and, and...

If you can dream it up, we can make it happen! This puppy is definitely worthy of throwing just about ANYTHING you can think of at. 

Joby came down on a Saturday to talk VW campers. We poked around several, and he got to drive a very nice Eurovan and this Syncro. I took him wheelin' in my Syncro—and that was it. He was sold.
