Chris,

I do but am not quite ready to part with those pieces yet.  I am looking for another Syncro to use as a daily driver and may or may not need them myself.  The van I am parting is complete and driveable though not legally.  The cops frown on windshields held in with duct tape due to improper fit after the idiot PO laid the van on its side/roof.  I did drive it the 130 miles home and even took it up to 75mph with no problems.   I am keeping the van complete until I either find a buyer for the enigne and/or transmission, or it warms up enough that I can get the wife to park in the driveway so I can put the van(this one actually fits unlike our Westy Syncro) into the garage and disassemble it.  I plan on keeping a few parts for our Westy Syncro but will sell/dispose of the rest, hopefully before the neighbors complain.  Are you looking to add a locking diff. to your van or just need parts to repair it with?

Mark in AK - waiting for Spring north of Margaritaville

P S  anyone have a Syncro for sale?
