Subject:Recycling a Syncro
From:Martin Peitz
Date:Sat, 22 Aug 1998 20:41:05 -0500

Listees and listesses,

I have bought a Syncro with a catastrophic transmission defect.
This transmission won't even be acceptable as a core anymore.
VW might accept it, but the rebuilt unit is $3800.

Even if I would find one, I don't really need a second Syncro, but I
would love to have the Syncro specific parts in stock (security blanket
effect).

Considering parts prices, the parted out Syncro might amortise with the
first few parts I might need.
I would rather have bought a Syncro that was in an accident, so the "to
part out or not to part out"- question would have been easier.

Anyway,
what I will be left with is a nice 87 Vanagon GL Weekender Syncro body.
If anybody is interested p-mail me.
Otherwise the parts are for sale. The interior is gray, has the folding
rear seat bench and the folding middle seat bench. Nice seats.
The body has a dent in the sliding door.
I also will sell (if possible) the skid plates & stuff, the computer,
suspension parts (springs and stuff), dashboard & components, fuel
system with tank, and doors/lids, and the side panels.

I am also looking to buy or trade certain interior parts in brown
velour.

I will come to "Busses by the Arch", where delivery of parts or body is
possible.
