Subject:      86 Syncro Gift--Thanks Dan & Barb & the list!!!

Hi All,

<brag mode off> This is a *thank you* to the Vanagon list and Dan & Barb Beatty, but I don't want to make it seem like a bragfest...

I would like to humbly thank Barb & Dan most graciously for passing over their gift of an 86 Syncro needing attention into my possession. In turn, I have found a home for my spare 2.1 motor and now have a Champagne Silver Syncro like I was originally looking for. {see below for original post} Plus Dan & Barb only live a few miles from me and I got to meet them! Small world indeed. The gift Syncro used to live about 4 blocks away from my house. I did not figure it would ever be available, let alone a gift!

I plan on rebuilding the gift Syncro to the point where I can then sell my Blue 86 Syncro. How long this will take, I dunno. Thanks again Barb & Dan and a *Big* thanks to the Vanagon list!! 8-) 8-) 8-)
