VW Vanagon Syncro

I've always liked VWs...having in the past owned a '66 Beetle, '60 Camper Bus, and '81 Pickup.

I've always been interested in the "Syncro" 4WD models of the VW Vanagon. I remember when they were first imported into the US in 1986, because a co-worker bought one and used it for his surfing safari trips into Baja California.

So, in August 2008, I flew to Reno to pick up a "needs work" Subaru-powered 1986 VW Vanagon Syncro, and drive it 1100 miles back home.

I'm now in the process of making it a reliable vehicle for ski trips, camping trips, and excursions around the Western US & Canada.
