How do i track down the checkerboard syncro? I kinda love it. Safe bet that it is a croatian van.
Looks like it has been mothballed for a while which is a shame. |
The checkerboard Syncro is still for sale and use to be an airport vehicle. Interesting Westy-type top. Double locker for 8,000Euro, but has some rust issues.

Had too many middle seats. I liked it but my wife not so much. Even welded in the worm from a factory jack with the handle up front for reclining. 
there's the front pic.

So you turn the crank to adjust the back? That's very cool!
Did these seats have otherwise adjustment backs originally? (Sorry I've only owned a westy!) |

I had the middle bench from a Bay van on the front stoop of my old bachelor pad many years ago.

I always feel a twinge of pain when our friendly, non judgmental vans are modified and twisted to serve the yoga industrial complex. |

This belongs on the Page of Awesome (if we had one), not the Wall of Shame!
Given where you are, I'd add seat heaters to the rig.

That roof is freakin cool
Want. |
This is a Westfalia Bahamas roof, it was an aftermarket kit, the bed is folded up in the step far back, which to my opinion is ugly 
The other kit was called Mosaik, flat like the original factory installed roof, but very thin bed bc of the curvature of the tin roof, folding in 3 sections of planks if I remember correctly.
