I feel all dizzy and weird, like i`ve entered a new world, like i`m carrying a new responsibility. Just bought a syncro doka, 88, td. Very original, needs a thorough going over! Pictures when it lands!

Aah, it`s the financial implications that are spinning me out!!! There will be many I am sure. I am not syncro savvy, but it was a shade under 2k which I thought was a decent starting point. No idea what works, engages, couples or any of that. When it arrives I shall pull the knobs, spin the wheels in the mud and see what comes back at me. It`s a warm feeling though, ...... for now.

just got delivered this afternoon. It`s better than when I was buying it! Let the jx run for 20 minutes and the exhaust was blowing clean and it settled to a nice tickover. Very pleased cos it was blowing all sorts when I viewed and it written it off. Now it stays. Has a Henrymag Mondial cover on the back. Planks are with it and all mint. Load bay is very clean and no rust. Screen good, front box section good. Steps and rear arm hangers are bad. Very complete, very original, little Puch badge on the side. Has syncro on screen panel but no 4 x 4 badges. Does have a mid and dark blue striping that runds off front panel across doors and stops at end of cab. they look original, but maybe a Henymag addition?
Cab is very basic with grey vinyl seating; rear bench intact. Tomorrow I will get it in the snow and see what happens!

it`s a company called Henrymag Gusbang. Seem to be "common" in France; they make the demountables too. There`s some more shots in the bus park. Just realised it`s an 87 build not an 88. No major drama. Was advertised as an 89! No fuel return to the filter, small badge grill, and an H on the chassis number seem to confirm earlier build. Would love some syncro knowledge thrown at me if anyone sees anything interesting in the photos. Not much to see probably. Any advice on VC testing in the mud and snow?

Picked mine up today - new panels, new paint, exhaust and fuel lines sorted, grinned all the way back over the Pennines - and to think I almost sold it!!!
Rekindled my love of the daft things. |

i`ve yet to kindle my love RTC but I feel it coming. Fortunately I can do most things myself, though I might shy away from a VC rebuild! Yours must be looking very smart.

I have been thinking about one to add to my various collection of old things. Operating new VW I am convinced the older with the rust are better built.
I picked up another T4 with 102,000 miles orginial on a diesel, again very clean like my other one. All I have had to do to both is service and brakes, not like the newer T5's. So what should I be prepare to pay???
