The T25 Syncro rolled in as a “drive in, drive out” conversion… although the old diesel lump only just made it through the gates! 😅

Originally booked in for a full front end panel replacement and fresh paintwork, it quickly became clear this bus deserved more than just a cosmetic refresh. There was no way it was leaving underpowered… so the decision was made — Subaru conversion time. 🔥

So it began…

🔧 Work carried out:
• EJ20 Subaru conversion
• Full gearbox rebuild
• Tins Kustoms stainless steel exhaust system
• Shortened sump conversion

This Syncro is now ready for many more miles on and off the road with power to match the soon to have new looks. 👌

It’s all about blue T25s in the Tins workshop 💙🔥

We’re going all in—air ride removals, engine work, gearbox swaps, MOT prep, tuning… you name it, we’re on it.

Summer’s around the corner—let’s get these builds ready to roll ☀️🚐💨

This VW T25 Karmann Gypsy came to us after a run-in with some of Cornwall’s very tight roads 😅

A local repair carried out to get it looking right again:
🔨 Timber frame repairs
🛠 Aluminium skin restoration
🎨 Prep & paint to perfectly match the existing panels

Now?
You’d never even know it had been touched 👌

Back on the road looking as good as ever 🚐✨

Yellow T25 in the workshop 💛
This Devon came in needing a little (okay… a lot) of front-end love thanks to rust doing its thing over the years.

✨ Front end repair
✨ Upper & lower front panels replaced
✨ Offside lower A-post panel sorted
✨ Roof gutter repairs after years of awning brackets having their fun

All part of the job when you’re keeping these legends alive.
Because T25s deserve to stay on the road where they belong 🚐💨
