I am looking for a syncro diesel tank as well. Even if no one has one they want to part with do you have any details like part numbers, and what vehicle they...
I'll second that emotion. Ben, do you have a place in particular that you would consider for such an event? I am somewhat familiar with the North East Kingdom...

Sway-away will make custom length axles. The best axles are made from 300M material. It is like a super clean 4340 from what I understand. I would imagine they...
Just spoke with my local dealer: There are still some TD Syncro tanks in the system in Germany. Getting them here is more of a challenge than years past, VW...
I ordered a chassis front cross member for a Syncro a few years ago and had to go through some hoopla. The part was one of the few welded in pieces needed to...
Well, getting my Syncro ready and really looking forward to meeting many of you at the upcoming Syncro De Mayo in May. Just installed my Rheins this morning...
TJ, Nice looking van! You may want to remove the front air dam before the trail does it for you, though. I can't even keep my front license plate flat! Larry...
