We’re getting prepped for 🙌🏼 Sam started the week polishing and he’s going to be doing a lot more of it in prep for the weekend! Steve’s raptoring the engine stand for the display engine, and Aaron is going to be building the engine up! It’s going to be one hell of a weekend, we can’t wait! Hopefully see some of you there!

What arrived with us as a lowered 1.9 TDI Atlantic Westy now sits on 16” steel wheels with plenty of tread, disc brakes all round, and a 2.5L Subaru FB25 petrol engine paired with a reconditioned gearbox.

We’ve absolutely loved putting miles on this one, but unfortunately it’s time for a good clean and a fond farewell as it heads back to its owner. We love these vans!

First-stage polish complete and the new shoes are on! Time for some road testing to make sure she runs and drives as good as she looks. Once the road testing is finished, it’ll be time for a final wash, polish and wax. The OG Carat wheels look absolutely spot on!

Whilst the latest FB conversion was on its way to us, it unfortunately suffered some cosmetic damage. Don’t worry, Steve came to the rescue! With some metal-shaping wizardry, no new panels were required. Now that the repaired metal has been sealed and protected, the FB conversion can be installed while it waits its turn in the final bodywork queue.

Well the doors are hung, glass is in, graphics on and windows tinted. Now it’s over to the owner to finish the interior and fit some awesome bumpers he has. Those wheels are being swapped out too. Can’t wait to see this T3 project completed, especially the potential new unique instrument cluster. Now we have to wait in anticipation for once, cannot wait to see it!

We’ve known this T3 for a long time, even fitting the rare Westy roof and carrying out the EJ25 conversion back in the day. This lucky van now spends most of its best life in Portugal, but recently returned for an MOT, service, and a few tweaks. You’ve got to love a RHD Syncro with all the right extras.

Well, the latest FB conversion is now at the road test stage before final alignment and handover. This awesome T3 Atlantic Westy started life lowered, with standard brakes and TDi power. It’s now running stock van height, 16” steels from .com_ , winter tyres, upgraded disc brake conversion all round, and an FB25 powerplant.

Plenty of suspension bushes have been replaced and the van has had a full 4-wheel alignment, but it’s important to get some decent miles on it first to bed the springs in properly, as the geometry will naturally change slightly. Another reason we always put proper road miles down before handover.

We’ve had the pleasure of looking after this rare 16” Syncro for quite some time now, and this bus has plenty of stories to tell. One that still sticks in the minds of our techs was when the previous AAZ engine started giving up the ghost halfway up a rocky mountain pass. Even in Gelände gear, the beast just wouldn’t pull itself any further.

Thankfully, after the TDI conversion and big turbo setup we carried out five years ago now (time flies!), it absolutely flies along and drives beautifully.

They’re not just vans, they’re memory banks for their owners. Don’t drive something modern and soulless, drive something full of character and make memories.

And just like that, the extra-long weekend has gone! It’s definitely been a hot one, and just look at these two adventur...

And just like that, the extra-long weekend has gone! It’s definitely been a hot one, and just look at these two adventure wagons that turned up. One’s a 14” Syncro running a 1.8T, while the other is a 16” with one of our TDI conversions.

We love a high-top Syncro here, the big proportions just suit big wheels. The question is: which roof is going to get more love… the commercial turtle shell or the Westy camper?

The T3 single cab is staying true to its roots as a work truck, so there’s no over-the-top finish. No pearlescent or metallic paint, just a cool semi-gloss look. The colour took some finding to tick all the right boxes, but once it was laid down in epoxy primer, that was it, the exact colour the customer had been looking for. Paired with the black accents, it’s going to look great with the lifted stance and all-terrain tyres.
