Over the course of the last year and a half, Luis added:
Original VW "Syncro 16" fender flares

A nifty 2nd place plaque he got by just wiping it down and driving to the show!
If you want a turn key, ready to rock and roll Syncro Westy for easily $20,000 less that it would cost to built TODAY.... What are you waiting for?
Dane finally came along snapped this one up. What a trip! Sometimes there is just no rhyme or reason to things. We have built several Syncro Westy's for over $80k since this Westy has been here, and all passed on this one. An $80K+ Syncro Westy for $68k, and it sits here for months--go figure. Dane saw the value it in, and ain't look'n back!
Dane added:
black rubber mats throughout
15" spare wheel
more aggressive BFG All Terrain tires.
Way to go Dane. This is one of the best buys of this year.
