In today's episode of "Syncro Stories" we explore this 1989 TRISTAR Syncro Doka Vanagon- a high end version of a 4wd truck Volkswagen made in the 1980s. This is one of 18 ever made in right hand drive, and it's mega rare- but in truly horrible shape. Naturally, Dan bought it- so let's start this adventure!

very cool. 2.1DJ is the best vw engine, it’s in my van. I had coolant leaks so took everything off the engine, put new heads on, resprayed all the rusty engine bits, new stainless coolant pipes, new stainless exhaust, new fuel lines, now it runs great. oh and we call it a T25 here :D Good luck with this van guys!

Ya, that's a tough piece of metal to source in North America! Hopefully we're going to find a donor, we have a few leads.

After my 1st Vanagon (1985 Westy) caught fire (bad fuel line?) and burned totally up. Then my 2nd Vanagon (owned for 16 years and did every mechanical repair possible except the A/C (don't need A.C in San Francisco) and the heater -which still worked fine. It was stolen a month ago. Still not recovered. I am shopping for my 3rd Vanagon- found a nice Wolfsburg in WA- will fly up and drive back to S,F. Bay area.---if my insurance company quits stalling on the settlement so I could buy it. Love the guys- Love their Vanagon passion. Definitely a cult vehicle-I can't shake. ely .

Sorry to hear that! I hope the insurance company makes it right and you’re able to source a good replacement!

As I said before, Dan is married to a good woman who has let him purchase another classic VW. Looks like Dan will be putting in a lot of time getting that back on the road. I learned a bit from watching this video, i.e., how to open beer bottles, among other things.

It's coming along! We're hoping to have it semi reliably back on the road in a week or so.

Did not know that RHD synchro dokas were imported to Canada, especially the splitted middle windows are damn rare. Rust is a big problem, the best is to drive this car in summer only.

Watched it again today. Why does it seem to have a "sub-floor" under the pick-up deck, as I was viewing the engine compartment?

The bed is raised up from the base floor found in the Type 2 T3 platform.

you might check the headlights as there are left and right hand drive specific lenses, the rivets are for bed slats not a full bead covering.

...no more engine rebuild, NO distributor, NO reciprocating push rod n housing pipes- swap/transplant with a Suby engine+tranny and U will b happy. These buses go for Gold. VW was short sighted to discontinue production of this vehicle. I communicated with the VW engineering division-back then- to use a 3 ltr engine with an auto tranny for the US Market, n they told me that they cater to the demand of the world Market! thus, NO more Vanagons!
@TheBarefootForge
@TheBarefootForge Год назад
You suggest swapping a Subaru engine and trans- how to you do that on an AWD bus and what would your estimate to do so be, including labor, at a $140/hr local labor rate? I think your suggestion costs more then the purchase price of the car……
@krisphoton7304
@krisphoton7304 Год назад
@@TheBarefootForge ...my friend, U dont go to a garage to do dis job at 140$/hr!, U do it yourself, or U mucho$$ buy it. It takes a very particular person to do dis undertaking, given the vehicle choice we have now. Dis also can b a good accomplishment for a mechanic's resume. I can do this transplant, but I prefer to b on top of the car now, than under it. Remember, that the Subies, R 4/all wheel drive. I enjoy 2 older ones.
