 Is this a good idea to try by myself? OR am i dreaming?
 Should I sell my Westy and get a Syncro Westy? >>

Riley,

Follow your own advice. You can make something kinda look like a Syncro Westy
but it never will be and will be worth less than the sum of all your vans.
While not impossible, it is very labor intensive to perform correctly. Unless
you're Handy Andy w/ a friend named Welding Sally, your better off finding A
vehicle already just the way you want it. Here's a thought... Find a broken
Syncro Westy and fix it instead. Much easier to replace and repair components
than it is to adapt same.
