Pause and questions!

Here:

http://syncro-werkstatt.de/MRB-syncro013.jpg

the PS battery box lid looks the same as DS. (no fetid lip in the way
hampering battery R&R) Do all Syncros have this or was this standard on all
Vanagons after a certain MY?

Any guesses if paint was removed only via sand blasting, or were chemicals
used too?

Looks very spic and span: http://syncro-werkstatt.de/Entlackung%20vorne.jpg

I'll never be set up to do something like that, but sure would be fun with
the right gear/space etc.

Thanks for posting the links Alistair!

Neil.
