Listees and listesses, I have bought a Syncro with a catastrophic transmission defect. This transmission won't even be acceptable as a core anymore. VW might accept it, but the rebuilt unit is $3800. Even if I would find one, I don't really need a second Syncro, but I would love to have the Syncro specific parts in stock (security blanket effect). Considering parts prices, the parted out Syncro might amortise with the first few parts I might need. I would rather have bought a Syncro that was in an accident, so the "to part out or not to part out"- question would have been easier. Anyway, what I will be left with is a nice 87 Vanagon GL Weekender Syncro body. If anybody is interested p-mail me. Otherwise the parts are for sale. The interior is gray, has the folding rear seat bench and the folding middle seat bench. Nice seats. The body has a dent in the sliding door. I also will sell (if possible) the skid plates & stuff, the computer, suspension parts (springs and stuff), dashboard & components, fuel system with tank, and doors/lids, and the side panels. I am also looking to buy or trade certain interior parts in brown velour. I will come to "Busses by the Arch", where delivery of parts or body is possible.
