So the time has come to part with Pedro - my beloved ‘92 Syncro I’ve now had for about 8 years. Before I post all the pictures and a price, I thought I’d find out if there’s any interest from anyone here?
Here’s a bit of history and some details:
- originally a Telstra fleet vehicle over East
- second owner owned it for most of its life, and did the camper conversion in the mid-90s.
- I acquired it from that guy’s son in law after he got to old to run it
When I got it, it still ran the original 2.1 motor and had a rear difflock. I’ve since converted to Subaru EJ25, added a decoupler, 16” wheels and a whole bunch of other upgrades. The van isn’t shiny and has great patina but no rust. The interior fitout isn’t what I’d call modern, but everything is functional and rock solid. And it’s got a brand new clutch & gearbox - I just had it rebuilt.
