Hi all
this is my Van Betty
She is an 87 Syncro Westfakia with a 2.5 Tdi, front and rear lockers, decoupler and solid shaft. 245x75x16 BFG AT Ko tires, custom transmission gearing produces 8.25mph @3000rpm in granny and 70mph@3000rpm in 4th.. best hwy mpg 25 US.
She has 4 wheel disk brakes, diesel furnace, high power headlights, house battery, stereo with iPhone interface for music and gps, and 4 wheel brake line locks. As well as a few other modifications to the fenders and suspension. Upgraded steel bumpers, exterior tire swing, surf racks.
Betty has been passing the test of time and is now proving trail worthy without dramatic incident of late.
Had a wonderful time at Hollister with the Overland Expo, so thought I would stop by and wave
