Crazy? Selling my nearly new Truck and buy a Syncro...

[Ranchero]

Nice Syncro. I have three pretty neat vehicles. My Syncro is the only one I have never considered selling.

Thank you all!

Oh, Christian, you got a new one?

Read about your old Westy, very sad Story...

Any Pics of the new project?

Little update:

selling the seats and ordered some goods from the "Carat " line, mounting some Truck mirrors, bring in some noise damping materials and the new Floor-plate.
Also making a hole in the sidepanel for electricity, outch that hurts.

Next week the Gearbox and the Visco-coupler comes out and we mounted the intercooler for the Turbo...

Ok, here we go...

What have I do to my Syncro?

Rebuilding the complete Gearbox, new VC, new CV Joints, new Turbo and a few little things.

Time for more Light.

I'm not happy with the Lightouput on my Syncro, Nightdriving on Highways isnt nice, especaly when it Rains.

So I decided to go for a LED Headlights, and by a pair TruckLite 7" Bi-LED Headlamps.

its nearly Plug and Play and its bright like a modern Car.

Please keep me/us updated on the headlight upgrade.
I have been thinking about the same lights for my Vanagon.

I'm pretty jealous of your syncro! I actually planned to buy one last year from Germany and import it back to the UK but then I ended up importing my big Merc 407 instead. I dont regret it as the Merc better suits my needs (I need to live in it full time) but seeing a syncro that good makes me wish I had one.

Hi Ron,

if you want one, buy it now!

Pricelevel goes up every month...

Where in the UK are you?


And, as said the Beamshots
Lowbeam

Highbeam ( with some smoke from our little Campfire)

The wife, the Dog, my Syncro and a good bottle of red wine...
Life is that great sometimes!
