Hi guys,

Which would you rather have?

A plain Syncro doka or a 2wd Tristar w/5speed and 112hp DJ?

Syncro over 2wd anyday.

Syncro all the way home. If I had a 2wd tristar I would want to convert it to syncro Laughing

Just an FYI, if you need a latch cover for your treasure chest on your Doka or Sinka, Vancafe has them in stock.

I look at a car for what I use it 95 % of the time. I would take the 2 WD Tristar over a plain Jane Syncro any time. In fact I would buy the Tristar and put an Automatic in it. Call me crazy . I had a 5 speed 2 WD Tristar and hated it . Too much shifting . I drive my Syncro Tristar everyday and would love an automatic. I only have a Syncro because it is totally rust free ,and I will take shifting over rust repair any day .

Is there More than one factory skid plate?

I have one, but there are too many bolts to undo for it to be considered a tire carrier.

My Doka has a cutout under the back seat and a thing to hold the tire down.

Taigagreen, great pic.
heres a pic of my aux fuel tank, an extra 70 litres, 2 way valve to swap tanks on the roll.
i'm guessing the people reading this thread will fully understand the picture!

Since there is no syncro van thread i'll post this here, IMO the coolest paint job i've seen on a syncro:

Hey Vwcrewman have you seen this posting? If you really like automatics (which I don't, I like the control of manual) you might like to look at this. The price is ridiculous, but the idea of a "new" Doka is intriguing.
If this were a Syncro or maybe a 5speed DJ, I'd think about trying to bargain them down.
