My build of a Volkswagen Vanagon T3 Syncro bought off Craigslist for $500. The project was for a trip to the southernmost point of South America and back, which my wife Katie and I took as our two year, extended honeymoon in 2014. 50,000 miles, 15 countries, 32 border crossings, and still running strong!
Check out our Instagram account, @crepeattack for photos from the trip!
The engine is available at www.boxeer.com, which specializes in providing expedition-ready, turn-key, global diesel engines.

Where are you guys located Gregoire ? Vous parlez français ? Are you from France ? Check out 2019 Toyota Hiace Touring or Grandia. How long did it take you guys to convert your westfalia into an expedition ready rv ? Also does boxeer create engines which can be used for any make any model or just vw wesfalias ? Why did you guys choose an older westfalia instead of a newer model or some other make and model ? I prefer Japanese engineering automobiles for their dependability and reliability.

@vwaudiwelder
@vwaudiwelder 2 года назад
I just got one for free six days ago. I am still in disbelief!!! I don't believe it there was also a Westy with an inline 1.6D that also just just 2 days ago for only $2,500. It was pretty awesome but with some surface rust however it had no title. Mine did and only rust is the lower windshield sill. The rest is STRAIGHT. I think I will likely swap a 3.6 Audi Q7 VR6 in there. 280 HP should move it along quite well. My 66 splitty bus has an ALH TDI. Goodness I adore these machines.

As a fabricator I am strongly considering using an entire Audi QUATTRO drivetrain flipped upside down in my free tintop Vanagon. I think the rear open differential should drive the front wheels just fine. I now have a FWD Audi A4/VW B5 Passat transmission inverted being propelled by a MK4 ALH TDI engine in my 66 splitty bus. It is freaking amazing. This will be my course of action to create my own sacred SYNCRO propelled by a 280 HP 3.6 VR6 from a B6 Passat/Q7 Audi SUV. Yeah baby.
