Post subject:	Another project in the making:
Picked up this 87 westy for parts today, paid $1150. Only one other person bid on it. NO ONE bid on it during the live auction, if the other person who put in a proxy bid of $1100 had not done so I might have gotten it for $50 oh well, can't look a gift horse in the mouth I suppose. http://ww4.klode.com/kws/napplications/ ... Exit=Close So now the plan is to find a good Syncro body(after doing the conversion on my Carat I'm not sure its worth the labor to do it on something other than a 4wd). And throw in a SVX motor after the westy conversion is done. Best thing is it has a clean title, so I might be able to find a cheaper syncro without a title! This is gonna be fun!

Sam, where are you going to put it? You already got your backyard full of part cars, not to mention all your MJ, XJ stuff.

Ok, so I bought a syncro today! Picked it up from a Samba member today for $2700: So now I just need time to get to work on it! Westy pop-top onto the van, and the whole interior from my donor, and it will look pretty sweet! And sorry guys, not parting anything out just yet!

I watched that show on Discovery HD where two Brits turn around vehicles. They bought an old VW vanbus (forgot the model) and turned it into a nice beach cruiser.

Miss your progress. Thought about putting a TDI in the Syncro?
