We just acquired a 1987 Syncro Westie; = very nice vehicle with 40k on the clock. Now it needs a few things; any recommendations on quality products and prices are = appreciated:

a) bra

b) Awning;

c) Shocks......saw some off road = shocks from australia...any info?

And, getting ready to learn how to = perform routine service and change all fluids. My first thought, with only 40k on = the clock and the engine tight, is to put Mobil 1 synthetic in the = engine. Recommendations on all fluids (esp gearbox)?

Regards,

carl and nancy

ps: life in the slow lane...never = done this before....this thing has less power than most of my old = motorcycles
