My newest project, a 1990 Syncro 16" turbodiesel, Reimo camper conversion and high-roof

It had been all over the world before coming to me: Europe, the Amazon and more.

 
 

Updating the stock 16-er  brakes to these Audi 'S' brakes, similar ones in the rear. Brake swept area will almost double. Similar brakes for the rear as well.



How do you upgrade the wheels and tires on a factory 16-er? How about Audi S8 wheels, 17"? 245/70-17 tires?



An interior photo as it appeared when I bought the van.
Reimo design work leaves a bit to be desired, eh?



 

I have big plans for the interior, almost everything you see here will be replaced with more modern appliances. huge Vitrifrigo electric fridge, Webasto diesel furnace/water heater, Webasto diesel cooktop, custom wood cabinets and floor, Recaro seats, wood steering wheel, Audi gauge package, and more!




Here is my old reliable (but rusty) Syncro Westfalia I've owned since 1996: He came with the name 'Otto', from Toronto Canada. Now showing over 550,000 km (half that as a diesel), and still running the original VC and many other parts!

This wonderful little camper has taken me around the 48 states multiple times and to most of the lower provinces of Canada over the course of the past ten years

  

One of the best changes I ever made to this van: The Vitrifrigo C51iSAC electric fridge. Well....and the installation of the awesome TDI engine, can't forget that!
