Looks like a nice van, but I think you'll need to put a motor in it to get that kind of money out of it. Good luck though.

Cheers,

Jeff

Hi all, I have the perfect Syncro for a Subaru conversion (or a new 2.1 ltr.) See lots of pics at

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/roadcamp1/my_photos

Details- 1987 Titian Red syncro with factory power windows, mirrors, locks. Rear wiper, locking diff. WAS A/C but I removed it and replaced the headliner with a factory non/ac headliner. Van has completely been repainted, including top and bumpers. (zero rust and no dents before paint. Only small dings etc) Windows were taken out of the van before paint. Paint job cost $2500 cash.

UPGRADES- 1. later model windows, rubber trim. Carat full body package including skirts and fiberglass bumpers. 2. THREE eurovan interior lights (one with slow dim and map light), Carat fluorescent light Lots of new grab handles installed, cupholders, storage bins 3. Westfalia rear seat, Westfalia storage bin (next to seat, with water tank removed) 4. Westfalia front and rear tables, TWO front Westfalia table mounts on driver AND passenger front seat pedestals. 5. Carat jumpseat mounting brakets have been added with appropriate factory seat belts 6. RARE Westfalia option fully swiveling captains jair that has a storage compartment undeneath (see pics) 7. fully soundproofed. Every door and panel. 8. Metal engine lid from a Diesel van (heavy, quiet with factory soundproofing, and basically fireproof) 9. Grab handles on rear hatch so you can close the van's hatch without going outside. 10. Gene Berg short shift kit 11. Upgraded VW dual tone horn with relay (out of a Passat) 12. front air dam

I also have brand new jail bars and Audi 15 inch rims on fairly new tires. Rims would need to be machined but the offset is fine for a Syncro. Rims, South African steering wheel, and jail bars are not included in sale but are available if you are interested.

Negatives- this van has been lowered by heating the springs. It handles great but bottoms out on big bumps. IMHO it needs to be raised. I have factory used springs off a syncro in a box that I will include in sale. A few paint chips. Interior is not mint but very presentable. Rear engine pad is factory non A/C pad but its not blue, not gray. Viscous Coupler is weak and is failing toward the non aggressive side (took it to the snow and the front tires didnt want to spin but they spin on gravel so....)

I know an guy that can install a subaru 2.2 engine in this, turn key, for about the same price as getting a new 2.1 ltr waterboxer installed if someone is interested..

I'd like $7500 for it.
