1986 Syncro Westfalia. Rust free Arizona van.  The original owner bought it new then shortly after ordered the Westfalia kit directly from Westfalia  and had it installed. This van runs and drives great with the 2.2 liter Subaru motor that was professional installed. Plenty of power and drives more like a car than a van with the upgraded motor. I had the complete rear interior seats and upper bunk reupholstered ($800). New carpet, 4  new 14 x 8.50 General Grabber All terrains ($700) new starter, upgraded 12 volt electric fridge, cd player, u joints, drive line and transmission. There has been some pretty innovative upgrades to the interior to make it more usable for camping such as removable propane stove, updated 12 volt fridge, and aux battery This van has the swivel seat and new muffler.  Very strait and dry van.

Subaru conversion - The Subaru motor was professional installed. Plenty of power and drives more like a car than a van with the upgraded motor. The








S
ubaru kit is from Kennendy Engineering in Palmdale California (the best for Subaru conversions). I have a 100 page manual that has all the information you need for the

















Subaru upgrade. Hoses are  from Vanaru. The total cost of the motor upgrade was over $9,000


Engine/Trans - Rebuilt Subaru 2.2 liter engine with around 40k miles. At that time they installed a new clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing. New starter, the transmission was just replaced with a low mile transmission. Only full senthetic motor oil has been used, fresh coolant, tune up, snorkel set up, new performance muffler, marine aux camping battery, new drive line and u joints professional installed, new motor mounts and trans mounts. New shift bushings. The Van runs and drives great with plenty of power from the Subaru motor.

Interior - The interior is in excellent shape. Front seats are in good condition with no rips or stains. passenger side swivel seat, no cracks in dash, nice Alpine cd player with remote and 4 alpine speakers. two 6 inch speakers up front, two 6x9 speakers in back. New carpet in cargo area, updated electric 12 volt fridge.  Fresh water tank with electric pump and new faucet. Aux camping marine battery, new upper bunk cushions, new upholstery on upper bunk, Z bed and rear cushion (cost over $800). I lined all interior cabinets with marine carpet. 6 110 volt electrical out lets. Removable propane stove, built in butcher block on counter. Interior has been cleaned and detailed. The interior is in great over all condition.

Pop Top - This van has the 3 window canvas upgrade. The canvas has no rips, all zippers work well. Upper bunk sleeps two and has new upholstery and padding.

Paint and Body - The body has a few minor dings and some scratches and scuff marks. This van has never been wrecked and is super strait. All door and body gaps are perfect. No cancer on this bus, no seam rust.  Paint is very presentable but shows its age. 

Other - Nice alloy rims with 4 new 14 x 8.50 General Grabber All terrain tires ($700). Rear heater under Z bed, custom heavy duty steel rear bumper, nice front bumper 230,000 miles on body, ( low miles on drive train).

F.A.Q 's -
The van does have a water storage tank.
The faucet does work and runs of 12 volt.
The van can be hooked up to shore power (110) at a camp site.
There is a marine aux camping battery which is hooked up.
The fridge is new and better than the original. Fridge is ice cold.

The upper bunk is fully functional and sleeps two people.
The van does have ac but it is not hooked up.
The Subaru conversion was done professionaly and with the best parts.

Trans only has 60k miles on it and shifts perfect.
Runs and drives great, much better power and mpg than the stock 2.1 liter wasser boxer engine.
The Westfalia kit was ordered directly from Westfalia in Germany when the van was purchased new.


   I have put a lot of time and money in this van to make it a clean reliable driver that can go any were. Solid Arizona Van.  This van is ready for cross country adventures, all the hard work has been done. 
Contact me with any questions.

Best viewed in the YouTube app on your smartphone, the video above - courtesy of Canadian Press Video News – allows you to look around the inside of the Model X as though you were sitting inside it. While you're viewing it, keep in mind Tesla CEO Elon Musk's words about virtual reality: "It's quite transformative. You really feel like you're there." See the video above, and read more at Teslarati. LG Chem's batteries for the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivan will be the Korean company's first time engineering and manufacturing a complete battery pack in Michigan for a volume production North American plug-in hybrid. The packs include lithium-ion cells, electronics and control units. The batteries were engineered at LG Chem's Troy, Michigan facility, and will be built at the company's Holland, Michigan plant. "Our experience with entire battery packs, including cell design and manufacturing capability, as well as our expertise in vehicle integration, makes us the ideal battery supplier for the Pacifica Hybrid," says LGCPI CEO Denise Gray.

Crash test videos show how rust compromises safety

Fri, Apr 13 2018

These recently released Swedish videos serve as a reminder that rust isn't just a cosmetic flaw, when it comes to cars. The insurance company Folksam and the homeowner organization Villaagarnas Riksforbund gathered examples of two relatively popular, but by now rusty cars, and then performed crash tests with them at the Thatcham Research facility in Britain. The results are sobering. The rustier cars chosen for the tests were first-generation Mazda6s, cars that have a reputation for early-onset rust in salty surroundings, such as the Nordic countries in Europe or the Salt Belt in the U.S. The cars in the other end of the spectrum were fifth-generation Volkswagen Golfs, which thanks to their body treatment only really start to show rust at over ten years old. But rust isn't just on the surface, it goes bone deep. While the Mazda did decently well in Euro NCAP testing as a new car, there's now a 20 percent higher risk of death in the 2003-2008 Mazda due to the degradation of its bodyshell. In the rusty car, the chassis rail separates from the floor, the footwell ruptures, the sill gives way, the seat mountings move and the dummy's head hits the B-pillar; all important failures, despite Thatcham saying the cars actually performed better in the crashes than they expected with all the rust. But still, the corroded structure isn't able to transmit loads in the way it was originally designed to do. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The Golf does significantly better — despite rust flakes flying when the Golf hits the wall — as the years have only caused it to lose a single point. An important thing to remember is that the cars aren't tested in comparison to corresponding new, 2018 cars: the tests are in reference to the crashworthiness standards in place when they were new. The cars' airbags inflate like they were supposed to, but on the Mazda the dummy's head bottoms out the airbag due to the car's structure failing, meaning the airbag cannot perform as designed. Driven cautiously, an older car is still mostly fine for driving around. But tests like these remind us that it's not enough that a car runs and drives, if the body has turned into Swedish knackebrod. And if you repair the visible rust and the structure underneath remains as compromised as ever, there's an ugly truth under all the bondo. Perhaps it isn't such a bad idea to have yearly roadworthiness inspections.
