If you really want to have a syncro/sunroof, I would
suggest you to go this route: cut the syncro and the
donor sunroof at the window pillars. This is the
easiest route to go. Why? A sunroof van has a double
roof to acomodate the sliding roof in between like a
sandwich...

Any bodyshop can do this kind of work. It's a piece of
cake for them. That's what they wanted to do with my
van, but i could not go this route because the
raingutters of the donor van were totally rusted.

See my van in this web site

http://www.westfalia.be.tf/
then you go on the menu and under the title "projet"
you clic on "Quoi? Comment?" and you will see
a grey vanagon with a hole on its roof...

Subject: Syncor chasis & Sunroof Vanagon shell

This may a completely dumb question, or it may be
almost impossible so
be
nice to a Vanagon newbie...

If I wanted to unbolt (if possible like a beetle) the
shell of my
sunroof
Vanagon and put it on a Synco rolling frame (if I
could find a good
doner
frame) what am i getting involved it. Seems like a
better alternative
in
theory then converting the drivetrain, but I haven't
really taken a
good
look underneath my Vanagon to see if it can be done.

Anyone have any thoughts? (nice thoughts only please)
