Picked this up today 🙂 👍 Only problem is I'm not keeping it 😢👎
Gearbox was pulled because there was some noise and a couple pieces of brass when the oil was drained, no catastrophic failure so no major damage.
Ex Telecom van, pity it doesn't have the diff locks. Off to Townsville tomorrow as spares for the new syncro owner up there.

Shame it becomes a parts bus. But makes my syncro even more rare.

Telstra didnt tend to look after them very well and hence many ex-telstra syncros have gone to their grave - they were a base model too so not much flashy stuff on them to save.

Plenty to save on this one, going 2.1L WBX, front diff/viscous coupling and rebuildable gearbox. Mick has already salvaged the power steering pump to replace the dead one in his syncro.
