Hi all, I'm just in the process of renovation of my rhd factory high top syncro. VW Vibe magazine are going to be doing a series of articles following its restoration. Its getting to the stage of being ready for a respray after which it goes off to Mario for a TDi conversion. After which I will need an interior. The original interior was a Holdsworth Vision, the one with the kitchen at the back and I would like to have a modern version of this done. I am also open to any other ideas.

Would any of you guys be able recommend anybody?

Thanks in advance.

Forgot to add - Also up for any radical ideas, as it is a factory hard top it has walk through height throughout so you could do a bit more than your average van.

Camper Shack did mine and they did a good job. Solid build. Nice people to deal with too and they gave me a huge choice of materials, colours, fabrics, etc to choose from.

I also had to be creative as its a twin slider and wanted to be able to use both doors and still be functional for long trips away and had such fetishes such as Cooker unit being removable so I can cook outside.

Wasnt cheap but feel I got what I paid for and included all electrics, hidden LED's, etc. Literally drive in and drive out service too which was nice after spending 3 years doing the body & engine...

i can thoroughly reccommend Tranzwagon. i have seen several of their conversions and they are of westy/reimo quality using cnc cut high grade plys not mdf or chipboard. they specialise in t4s and 5s but have done a few t25s and will custom fit any van to the customers requirements

That looks fantastic! Love the light look of your interior really original looking too.
Can I ask as I am looking for ideas for my tintop conversion, what material did they use on the floor?
Also the sunroof, was that a factory option or aftermarket jobbie? Been looking at Heki rooflights, but the curved top seems to make it a bit of a non starter.
A sunroof would be wonderful!

Ps we are not far up the road from you in Herts..

Wolfbus.uk -> flooring is self adhesive closed cell foam underlay (for road noise), marine ply base & good quality vinyl floor from this place in North London: http://www.colourflooring.co.uk/

Ended up using that closed cell foam all over the van and really does make a difference.
