Subject:making a 2 wheel drive westy into a syncro or vice versa???
From:Jamie Ayotte

hello!

i have an opportunity to 'acquire' an 87 syncro from my parents and i have
an 86 westy.  i would really like to combine the two.  my question is- has
anyone done this? and which way is easier (if any)...  my 86 has an
immaculate body, and i know what the issues are with engine... the syncro
needs some body work and i'm not sure what's up with engine... although i
grew up with that as the family car since it was new- my parents can fill me
in on its issues...  which way should i go with this?  or should i even go
with it?  i don't see the need to own two vehicles... and living in NH i
could use the syncro...

whadya think?

thanks
jamie.
