who doesn't appreciate tig welding ? Look how they boxed and welded those rear arms...Full length skid plate, will have to look more into this build. And since Burley works with subarus too, i bet this could be subaru powered. The coolant line looked very clean...

[@SyncroNellie]

I know! Beautiful job!

I’m in love. I’ve got a Syncro that I’m going to rebuild. Pity I’m in Australia.

[@SyncroNellie]

We do ship overseas!

Are these original seats in mid row and the bench or from some donor vehicle? Gotta chance to buy Multivan, but without belts on the rear bench, and just one seat in the middle. What is the best donor for these? I need this exact setup, two in the middle facing opposite and the normal rear bench. Preferably with arm rests. Tnx.

[@BurleyMotorsports]

We installed a weekender seats and interior on this one .

[@craftedbyalvint]

Are these parts available?
