Subject:87 Syncro
From:Bill Duryea

Helloooo from Colorado Springs, Colorado!
I have two '87 Vanagons, one nice but blown 2wd I'm now using for parts for
my newer '87 Syncro.
I want to swap the stock alloys from the 2wd with the steels from the Synchro
but the bolts are too short on the Syncro. I know it's vain but they're so
darn nice. How do I swap'em?
I found 4 Michelin LTX 195-75-14 blems at Peerless and replaced the $25 el
crappos someone put on.
GREAT improvement in handling, but they sure look tiny on the Syncro. Oh
well.
I 'm going to have Jay (Jay's Bug House, Colo. Spgs.) rebuild the Syncro
engine soon for $2000 to $2200. It rattles as it winds out in 1st and 2nd.
Any suggestions? He might take the nice blown 2wd as partial trade.
