Hi Jim.
 Thanks for the "welcome" greeting.
Your assumption is correct; I live in Victoria, BC. My syncro is
classified as an " X " for Kombi, and a " J " 1988. However it is best
described as a panel van with windows. Its empty, save for the 2
captain's seats up front. This model comes complete with half a
headliner in vinyl! The rest of the van has a type of hardboard on the
ceiling and side panels. A couple of other nice touches include power
mirrors and power doorlocks. Other than that, its sparse, but ideal as a
mobile office. I take it around the province regularly, with tool box.
 I've only owned it about a year and a half and spent a fair bit on
maintenance, often frustrated, but I like this beast alot. Used to have
a VR6 Passat Wagon, 5 speed, sport suspension from Nuespeed, which was a
joy to drive, but it became too small. Spotted the syncro on a dealer
lot one day and took the plunge.
 Bye the way, I would like to thank you, and other list members for the
information that I have found in the archives, before joining the list.
