My [converted] diesel [TDI] Westy Syncro is by far the best vehicle I've
ever owned, most fun to drive, best to live in :-). It could hardly be
considered 'slow', as it keeps up with traffic quite well, all the while
returning 25-28 mpg on diesel or biodiesel. And worth every penny and hour
I've put into it. Sadly, the day will come soon when it needs a new body,
the rust termites have eaten into some really important areas. Anyone know
where to find a pristine Syncro Westy body shell?
