You can see the pics on my site. They came with a 1997 2.0 crossflow engine (10 years before they ever made the engine! Amazing!) It's a Syncro with Electric front wheel drive! If anyone knows of another one of these around, please tell me, I need it for parts! -Otmar- 86 Syncro (front) 82 (rear) Stretch GTI Westfalia. "Power of two" It runs! 3K miles in 3 weeks.
