We had already done a bunch of work on this Westy for the previous owner, Scott, including:
GoWesty 2.4 liter engine
GoWesty transalxe with locking differential
Custom 1.18:1 3rd gear-4% taller
Custom 0.77:1 4th gear-9% taller
Driveshaft decoupler (This is a 2-knob syncro)
Solid shaft to replace viscous coupler-for real 4WD
South African headlight grill and HP headlights
Propex furnace
GoWesty bumpers
Total cost of the above was $26,649.32. He was leaving the beautification for last, then ran into a situation that necessitated moving on. We ended up purchasing this Syncro Westy for $23,000.
Enter Harvey, from the San Francisco Bay Area. He came down and picked up this Syncro Westy for our cost plus 20%: $27,600, and had us finish it up right.
Total out the door price listed includes:
Complete exterior disassembly and restoration
-exterior color change from dark gray to white
-all window seals and frames updated to black no-molding look
-black texture treatment all around the bottom
Full interior re-do with Recaro seats and matching fabric on rear seat
Over $1300 worth of just-in-case reliability enhancing parts installed
GoWesty heavy duty axles with Porsche 930-size CV joints
Full Yakima roof racks
Pioneer AVIC N3 in-dash navigation/xm tuner with flip-up screen
Added factory cruise control system
AUL bumper to bumper warranty
All tax, license, smog and safety checks, certificates, fees.
Nice buy, Harvey!

Hey Lucas,
Love my Westy, but on my next stop down there, i'd like to get a solar panel, fridge (take out the old piece of shit and buy an electric) and a bunch more stuff. I'd also like to check out your bike rack in the back of your van - mine recently beat the crap out of my back door during some serious off-roading hunting deer/boar. I continue to be amazed by what this baby can do! It's not the best RV, the best road van, the best off-road vehicle, but it is damned good at all of them!
Cheers,
Harvey
