As a result of my 84 westy goetting the top crushed up in July I'm in
the market for a new westy. (I'll probably sell the old one if things
get worked out with the insurance company-- long story)

Anyway my wife likes the idea of finding a mint westy syncro and going
to get it. Two questions:

1. Am I just looking at a lot of mechanical headaches and expense by
moving to the syncro? We do like to get on some pretty iffy roads!

2. Has anyone dealt with  J&R VW Vans of Reno Nevada? They have an 89 or
90 westy syncro with new AVP engine etc.

3. O.K. ...one more question will a westy syncro fit into your standard
garage? I know they are taller but can't find the measurement.

Thanks in advance and thanks for those on the list who replied to my
crushed westy plight back in July!

Bob
