looking at the article in VWA mag i was impressed to see a syncro meet over east, could we get together in each state to have a "treffen"
lets start with a nod n a wink and a shout as to where we all are.

I have a Syncro, just started restoring it, it has been sitting for 2 years on a farm, I scraped a wheel barrow full of dirt from under it, then pressure cleaned the rest, now I can see what I am doing.

It is an ex telstra van, mechanicaly quiet good, engine just needed an exhaust, coolant flush and full service. haven't checked gear oil yet, body has a couple of bits of rust where those nice heavy duty roof racks were, has a dent in the sliding door and rear 1/4, I have replaced the door with a panel van door, so it is now a window less panel van. needs a respray, bit of inside work, and thats all.

Dam bloke..:thumb
How is it you seem to be in the right place at the right time..:ninja:
Bloody contacts

Hope you are enjoying yourself.
Does this mean that you sold the others?


Menangler - August 29th, 2007 at 09:42 PM

I wasn't in the right place at the right time for this one,

The guy I bought it off noticed it parked at a local repairer and asked the owner "whats with the Syncro" the guy said, "you want it $150.00 and it's yours" he couldn't get his money out quick enough!!

Apparently the owner didn't want to pay for a new starter motor to be fitted, The thing has 4 near new BF Goodrich off road tyres too.

I still have all my T3's, I have 7 here at the moment.

wow how good did you do? thats pretty damned amazing! after you cleaned it have you been out and dirtied it up again?

hope you have fun!

Sorry late post.
Holy shit..
I'll say it again, "holy shit".
There is lots more that i could say but i am in a kaffuffle.
