I will NEVER cease to marvel at people who can somehow lay out the various leads and wires in an electrical system such that they look so smart and clean as yours do. Me? I'd wonder if I should lengthen or shorten a wire or start over with another lead or whatever. Such a masterful job of wiring! The matte green paint looks the business, too. Aloha!
As I commented before, I started my "Camping career" in my uncles T2 Westfalia and love VW Busses ever since. This one is sheer perfection, minus only minor details. I would have left the colour ;-)
THIS IS THE GREATEST!! My actual dream car. I have a monthly fantasy about commissioning one from ECC and getting it shipped to Australia!!!!! this is it 100%
Looks very nice and I love the colour. But only because it contrasts nicely with the Black bits. Looking forward to seeing how it fares offroad. Would also be interested in seeing how much of the battery gets used if you fire up the induction hobs etc.
Another absolute cracker of a conversion Richard, executed to the highest level of perfection as per usual. Love the green colour, it suits its very green credentials. The finish and technology incorporated into this vehicle is outstanding. I much prefer this as an alternative to the latest VW offerings. I would imagine you will sell a few of these Richard. ❤
Please consider one day doing a deep dive video on wiring? I'm particularly interested in the possibility of cheap low-end conversions (i.e. early 2000s Hondas, Toyotas) and I'm wondering how much there is to all of that. Keep up the good work, this channel is fantastic!
I love the 12 V switch panel. Retro look and modern function. Getting rid of the gas burners and replacing it with induction ones is another great choice.
Lovely jubbly!! It looks good and I bet it tastes good. Excellent job, love the colour and looking forward to the next episode. Thank you for another really interesting vid.
If it’s only slightly better then the standard synchro , it’ll be amazing. My old synchro crew cab was awesome off road, can’t wait for the test drive.
As usual, this is a piece of art, love what you have done with it! Can't wait to see the test drive and actual range while using it as a camper! Hope a bolt-in kit will make it to production ;)
I think it is one of those colours that looks better the more of it you cover up. When you think about the hazards of propane cooking and heating sitting on top of 100kWh of batteries seems a smart move, as well as doing away with all of the condensation. Unlike the Ferrari I cannot think of anyone that would buy a VW Synchro for the engine sound. I look forward to the next video, will be interesting to see how the range is when you are just trundling around.
When the Wikipedia article on the Volkswagen Type 2 has an entire section on the various engine replacements for the camper I think Spud might be safe. Although the section might need an edit as it only mentions ICE replacements for the original engines. That colour seems to be a factory original along with a two tone brick, I have no idea why, the earlier and later models had much better paint schemes, the 70s have a lot to answer for.
As an owner of a 1991 Westy, which is due for another engine (400,000 K - second engine in) I am VERY interested in this Richard. Very nice job. Kudos to ECC……
Paint: I would like a dark forest green trim rather than black. Otherwise, this is such a fine project! You Fellas are doing wonderful work. And Tim is doing crisp filming and also doubling up as a great sidekick.
What a fantastic vehicle! You guys just absolutely nail it every time! Each time I think that’s the vehicle for me you show another one I would love to have! Just awesome work and thank you for sharing.
The colour reminds me of the agressively orange Westfalia my parents rented on our camping trip when I was little. It was an interesting trip that I think this one would improve on haha. It could barely go up hills, would roll like crazy around corners and it felt like it would get blown over when a transport truck flew by. Great memories!
Thanks for the great work and videos! Very inspiring. I am planning on converting my original Doka 16". I would love to know how to get a hold of you and maybe visit within the next years, to clear some ideas and questions. I am based in East Germany. Best regards!
Really want one. Well impressed you are able to use the main battery for the whole camper. Does it have the standard campsite socket for slow charging? That would be a neat install.
I love what you've done ... ... except for the colour. What a naff choice. And then you did it matt. I suspect that shade of green would look better in a gloss finish as the reflecting surface would reduce the 'in your face' feel it has now. But if I was still into camping I'd want one of these done this way. But, sadly, my wife considers staying at a Holiday In as 'camping'.
i think the color needs some accent stripes to really set it off, but definitely have someone do some photoshop so you can experiment with stripe width and colors
It’s like moss...it also grows on you.
Very good. 😄👍
not if youre a rolling stone
Don’t know about you but there’s no moss on me 😳. I shower sometimes…
I love it! Convert my syncro next. Oh wait, I have no money because I own a $yncro 😅

Thank you and Aloha. 👍
I love the colour scheme. The black sets off the matte green beautifully.
Colour reminds me of my first Car,Ford Anglia 1964.
I like the color, it contrasts well with the black parts of the van. Looks great!
Nice color
I think so too!
Looks fantastic. Great build.
She’s a beauty.
Love your work, Richard 👍
I love these with the front grill painted body color.

This camper is a masterpiece. ECC has done a masterful job. I want one just like it! 😀
Thank you. 👍👍
Great to see this rugged green and black machine outside The Sloop in Porthgain ;-)
Yep, it was a wet one for sure that day. Can’t beat The Sloop, great food and beer. 🍺🍻👍
Gotta love a Syncro. Well done lads!
Looks like a fun beast. Thanks for the vid. Jim Bell (Australia)
My guess 190 miles on road.
Looks, "mint"!
I see what you did there, very good. 😆👍
Looks very nice and I love the colour. But only because it contrasts nicely with the Black bits.
Looking forward to seeing how it fares offroad.

All the black serves as such beautiful accent to the green. What a hulk!
This is my new dream vehicle.
a dream vehicle for me
I love the colour -nice contrast with the black body-parts so.
The colour is perfect!
I think it looks amazing
I love the 12 V switch panel. Retro look and modern function. Getting rid of the gas burners and replacing it with induction ones is another great choice.
I must say I like the colour a lot.
The dream! Love it
After the Landrover I thought it is not getting any better, you proof me wrong. This conversion is king!
This could be the only vehicle to tempt me away from my Landy. It all depends how well it performs off road. 👍
The paint job looks amazing! I love the way the green contrasts with the flat black parts!
Nice to see the systems coming together. Skip the paint and do the headliner.
I need one for me! What a great vehicle you guys have there and so usable for any outdoor enthusiast! Looks like great ground clearance too.
Fantastic build! Looking forward to the on road, off road and camping tests in a future video. The more indepth the details, the better.
Nah, that green looks bucket-of-sick like. Should have been red, or blue.
Dreamy Vanagon 😍 Syncro
Well it's the right colour for me as I'm green with EV envy 😍😍😍😍
Another amazing conversion. Well done!
Thank you very much!
Richard - know you are super busy and all, but I am desperate to see this van out on the road! Chop chop with the next in the series please 😉
It’s out tomorrow 👍
like the color
Lovely jubbly!! It looks good and I bet it tastes good. Excellent job, love the colour and looking forward to the next episode. Thank you for another really interesting vid.
What I think? Love it!
Yay! Thank you!
I'd only judge the colour when it's in traffic and in natural light. Loving your channel and your amazing work.
If it’s only slightly better then the standard synchro , it’ll be amazing. My old synchro crew cab was awesome off road, can’t wait for the test drive.
I think the green might take some time to grow on me as well but overall it’s pretty unusual which is just great 😌
As usual, this is a piece of art, love what you have done with it! Can't wait to see the test drive and actual range while using it as a camper! Hope a bolt-in kit will make it to production ;)
What an amazing piece of kit. I'm convinced the new owner will love it. :)
I think so too!
I think this would be great for a friend of mine, if she wins the lottery we might commission another one
Much better than VW iBuzz! I like the color, loved the original silver...but wouldn't know!

I'm sure there are some VW sound enthusiasts, but I don't think those engines came with a soul installed as standard. 😉

Just one word says it all 'AMAZING'. Excellent bit of re-engineering. Keep up the good work.
Thanks 👍

Fantastic to see her all done, loving the detail here! 👍⚡️🔋
Thanks 👍
Fantastic conversion! Although not my first choice, I like the color. Cheers!
The colour is rank, silver was much nicer. Clever interior 🤓👍
What an EV! SO slick, and so professionally done.
Paint: I would like a dark forest green trim rather than black. Otherwise, this is such a fine project! You Fellas are doing wonderful work. And Tim is doing crisp filming and also doubling up as a great sidekick.
Thanks for your kind words. 👍😀

Really nice!
The green is cool but friendly.
Hey, really love what you have done to this VW camper. Looks functional and fun - and am not even a camper guy :)
Looks Great! 👏
Thanks! 😄
Nice conversion. Curious to see it run, climb.
Coming soon!
Love the green!
As a old VW fan, I love it! I like the color too, especially with the two-tone! I can’t wait to see it’s off-road test. Looks like fun.
Looks awesome! Love the colour, can't wait for the off-road test
I don't care what colour you paint it, its electric that's all that matters!
I love the colour. Totally suits the style.
Great video n a nice car
Thank you! 👍
Good job 😅 awsome dude
Thanks 😅
This is genius. The camper looks like a lot of fun to me!
Great work. 👍👍👍
Now your talking ... Practical classic conversions..😂 😎🧙♂️
I need this
What a nice conversion!! 😍😍😍😍
Ecotricity green! 😉
Oh yeah. I didn’t twig that. You’re right. 👍👍👍
@@ElectricClassicCars I listen to the owner’s podcast and joined the dots
I'm not a camper but thatbis a cracking job. I don't mind the colour although it wouldn’t be my first choice.
This is my kinda van!! Love it......dreaming of my Chevy being electric....can I get help for this?
Want one! I wish I knew electric power steering kits were a thing, or Id've kept my beloved T25, "Max Headroom"
Perfect doomsday vehicle. ❤
Color looks great. What a camper! I wish it was a T5 Rockton 4Motion 🥺.
I need this in my life. Love it.
That is excellent, just imagine if VW had done the id buzz reboot in this fassion, that would sell like hit cakes!
Awesome build
Thanks for the great work and videos!
Very inspiring.
I am planning on converting my original Doka 16". I would love to know how to get a hold of you and maybe visit within the next years, to clear some ideas and questions. I am based in East Germany.
Best regards!
Love it!
What kind of solar panels ate you using? They look great and are super flat.. thank you 😊
Really want one.
Well impressed you are able to use the main battery for the whole camper.
Does it have the standard campsite socket for slow charging? That would be a neat install.
Yep, it can be charged up off a campsite hookup via a special cable into the existing Type2 charge socket. 👍
I love what you've done ... ... except for the colour. What a naff choice. And then you did it matt. I suspect that shade of green would look better in a gloss finish as the reflecting surface would reduce the 'in your face' feel it has now.

Looking good!
Would love to have one!
Just in case I would find such a 4x4, how much are the conversation costs?
And, would you mind if it will be left hand driven?
Great green unit. I get Kermit vibes from it 😅.
Are those inverters custom too? 400DC to 220AC isn't that standard, right?
Would love to do this with Mitsi Delica D5
The engine placement looks quite like quite a vulnerable spot!! Very easy to break it, all it takes is one big rock lol
It’s higher up than the original engine. 👍
@@ElectricClassicCarsoh wow. Does that causes issues in the original model with things potentially hitting it?
I prefer the silver color. Everything else is great!
well done!
I want one soooo baaad!!
i think the color needs some accent stripes to really set it off, but definitely have someone do some photoshop so you can experiment with stripe width and colors
Looks better green💚💚
Could you charge the batteries with the solar panels, even if it's just a little ?
