My T2 is still going strong at 42 years old! He has lived in Canada, Oregon, Washington and spent the last 11 years here on the East Coast (NJ). If nothing else the pandemic gave me time to give him the attention he needed. Here is to hoping he last long enough for my 2 yo to inherit 😁

@@8wheeledassassins. I just put a new engine in mine so praying for another 50. As long as I can drive a stick I’ll drive it. I’m almost 60. 😀

@@SusansRoadLessTraveled I had a fire in the engine a few years back and had to wait for the time or money to rebuild. It was always one or the other. Finally got the time so I sold what I could to make money for parts. Great learning experience and my son could not be more happy to have his very own BUS 😎

@@8wheeledassassins. ❤️❤️

Thank you very much

Best of luck!

Yes, agreed

Appreciate it

Thank you Jad.

Go for it

Thank you. T3 Tuning won't ship to the US since covid. Just tried them earlier this week.

Thanks for the information David.

No doubt!

@@SYNCROORG done. 😊

@@pete3816 Thanks!!

Arch, VW produced a 4WD version of the T3 Vanagon from 1986 through 1991, designated the "Syncro." (2WD Vanagons were made from 1980 through 1991.) VW made a 14" version of the Syncro with 14" stock wheels and a 16" version with 16" wheels, some additional body reinforcements, longer trailing arms in the rear, heavier duty CV joints and some other minor changes. Very few of the 16" model were made and they were not sold in the US. Steyer Puch made the 4 WD components and Syncro Vanagons were shipped from the VW factory in Germany to Austria for final assembly of the 4WD system. Very few Syncros were sold in the US relative to the number of Vanagons that were sold. There are no official figures available, but estimates are in the neighborhood of a only a couple / few thousand. Some even claim it was only 1,200. Here is an article called "The Syncro Story" by Simon Holloway from a Syncro club in the UK that provides a more detailed history of the VW T3 Syncro. syncronauts.org.uk/syncro-technical/syncro-history/the-syncro-story/

I love this too

@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures you’re welcome

Thank you very much. The guests website information is in the description

Good point!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you Frank I really love it too.

I have an ‘88. Have had it a decade now…it does not cost a lot to maintain….having a garage to store it is most important for keeping it in good shape. All motor homes, boats etc are money pits too some degree. Westphalia’s are so well built you really have to neglect them.

Radio rocks.

@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures I would have tiked to have seen what he had for a radio and how he had it setuped. Was it uhf/vhf? Did he have hf? But you make a good video. Thanks

Thank you very much Paul.

i put a porta potty with a cover that includes a cushion on top behind the passenger seat. works great, can be set outside easily when stopping to cook or used as a seat. i have one of these and a 1984 2WD version. many folks are putting inline subaru 6cyl conversions in them- $8k game changer.

Thank you Pete. Rock on 🤘🏼

Thank you, Pete. Loved your van tour!

Go for it.
