Many Vanagon Westy owners are not satisfied with the door on the rear cabinet. It’s just a little small and doesn’t provide a wide opening for the closet. This Westy owner decided to modify his cabinet himself. He cut a larger hole and installed two sliding door. As you can see, he framed the doors in and it doesn’t look bad at all. If you look closely, you can see he installed two stainless down lights in the rear ceiling. Cool!
You can add a nice touch to your Vanagon by adding a rooftop rear spoiler. We have seen various kinds of Vanagon spoilers before, but this is the first time I’ve run across one for sale. The kit comes with the spoiler that is ready to paint, along with 4 fixing screws for the culls. Check out rhoen-bull.de for the particulars.
What kind of flooring do you have in your Vanagon? You can see how several other Vanagon owners outfitted the rear of their Vanagons with custom flooring. The Samba user, blackglasspirate, chose the checkered tile look. It reminds me of a 1950’s style diner. It’s easy to do and easy to maintain. Great job!
Do you notice something special about this Vanagon? That’s right, it has no front bumper. The owner has chosen a body kit over a front bumper. While it might be dangerous, the lines are so smooth. This van has a very nice yellow paint job, and the South African grill with eyebrow looks great. Have you noticed the very small side view mirrors?
What can you say about this dash? The picture speaks for itself. This modified dash is very involved and looks like it took awhile to put it together. Is that a tablet up top, or a monitor for an embedded computer? What about that phone handset? What is that connected to? Check out the gauges just about the shifter. Click through for more.
This Syncro camper has a lot of add ons, but the serious front grill guard caught my eye. Is he mowing down trees or what? The large pipe on top looks so big it could be used to store a tent or some other equipment. The front bumper also has large driving lights that look great. This high top has a sun visor and a sun roof. Who wouldn’t want to drive this beast?
This single cab VW T25 truck has a lot of character. You might say it needs a paint job, but she looks great to me. I love the roof rack for storage and the roll bars in the back. She has an Audi V6 engine in it so she has lots of power. It was recently for sale so someone probably got lucky on this one. Click through for a few more pics.
We have seen a Vanagon Ice Cream Truck before, but this ice cream truck was found in Germany. I could only find one picture of this van, but you get the idea. I wish we had these where I live!
This is a nifty mod for those who might want a pull out faucet in your Westy. If you use a T4 Westfalia tap, you can create a pull out faucet that you can pull out the front window to shower, or wash things off outside. The key is the head has an on/off switch that allows you to control the water flow. Click through to see how this looks when pulled out.
Here is a nice little hack made from PVC. You can hang a lantern or other light outside the van for those camping dinners. The picture is pretty self explanatory.
