Sorry for the lack of info, this is more of a feeling out of price and
interest.

1987 Syncro, about 170k miles speedo works, odo intermittant.

First and foremost, the starter is dead.  Starts up fine rolling it in
second.

The cat failed on the way home this last weekend, so making 35MPH over the
pass was difficult.  Haven't really gotten in there and checked.

The coolant gauge and gas gauge are inop, the voltage stab.  seems to check
out fine.

The diff lock works great, all gears are solid.

Propshaft needs U-joints, currently out of the van.

Dents on the driver side.  Some surface rust here and there underneath, not
much on the body.  Rusty steps on both driver and passenger sides under the
rubber mat.

Heat works well, not equipped with AC, CD player, PS.

Breaks are mushy, pump it once and they're fine.

Have spare 2.1 from ECU to Exhaust, 30k 1991 engine, spare set of steel 14"
wheels.

Tires are fine but this van really needs proper load rated tires.

My biggest thing is I have seriously no time to work on it so I need to move
on, will trade for Subaru of nearly the same value.
