A couple months ago I had to park my 86 syncro because a cylinder stud bolt apparently broke and dumped coolant into the oil and I haven't had the time or a garage to pull the heads and figure out what broke...( that will also be the biggest repair this shade tree mech has attempted..) So I open the local newspaper the other day and, low and behold, there is an 87 vanagon gl in there with 29,000 miles on a new 2.1 waterboxer for $2400! It was a 45 minute drive over and now she sits beside the syncro -same color and all, and the body is in better shape. Sometimes the gods smile down on us....
