This digital dash console was found in a 1988 VW T25 / T3 Westfalia Magnum Multivan that was for sale on eBay. The new owner does not specify what it is or what it does, but only states the previous owner was an electronics enthusiast. Also interesting in this picture is what appears to be a custom toggle switch and light above the glove box. Not bad, but he could have simply installed an the auto-on LED lights like we did.
If you are going to restore an old Vanagon you might consider a complete paint stripping and chemical dip for rust. This kind of full restoration is very involved, but the results are amazing. Surface Processing Ltd (SPL) of the UK does full chemical dips for rust and has a variety of cars on its website. Don’t you wish your van’s body could start like this?
Check out this awesome air cooled Transporter with a slide on camper. Usually, these slide on campers are old and crusty, but this one looks great! The truck has driving lights, a body kit, and great paint job. I wish I had some interior pics of the camper.
Sometimes you need a little extra space to carry large items. Many Vanagon owners pile that sort of thing on roof racks. They even sell Rocket Boxes for extra storage space. This guy, however, has a rear bumper tow hitch that holds a bar to create a storage area to carry extra gear. I’m not sure what it’s called, but it’s slick.
This is one I had not heard of before today. This customized VW Camper by Devon debuted in the mid-1980’s. The Devon Eurovette has some interesting touches I’ve not seen before, including a beach shower and microwave. As you can see, the standard side windows are missing in favor of smaller windows. Click through to see the customized options in this Devon Eurovette.
Is this the best Syncro in the West? Some people think so. This Syncro won Best Syncro at Syncrofest 5 this year and it’s a beauty. The entire van has been redone and I’m drooling. TexasVanagons.com was at Sfyncrofest 5 and has published a very nice feature about this van. Click through for a few more pics.
Talk about unique. This 1986 VW T25 Holdsworth camper was recently for sale in the UK, and by the looks of it the van was hacked up quite a bit. It has an interesting graffiti paint job that seems perfect for a surf mobile. The listing says it has a “Rosie”! Recon 1600 turbo Diesel engine. The van has since sold and all pictures removed.
