Spare syncro for the winter?

Post by Simon Baxter »

Anyone fancy lending me a syncro?
Sounds stupid doesn't it!
I don't have the time/funds to buy another, or the space, but I do have some short term space at the workshop.
I have a few things in the pipeline, these front coil overs and that, and could do with something to try them on, mess about with, without having to get the vehicle back on the road sharpish so a customer can collect it.
I was thinking either a panel, or a doka, no campers and no petrols.
in return, it'll get fettled and you could end up with some cheap bits.
Must be legal.

i JUST WANT TO TRY OUT THESE COIL OVERS
I hate capslock me.
Anyway, yeah, i don't just want to fire in and sell these coil overs without a bit of trialling first, theres some lanes local, I just don't want to start selling them, and them not be right.
The same token, I don't want a customer breathing down my neck wanting their van back, and the dampers have to go back to AVO for adjustments.
I also got those ally bash plates at the machine shop too, again, need something kicking about so I can offer them up to it and make sure they are fit.
So, V-Lux, if you were serious about having some coil overs done, then maybe this is your oppertunity for some cost priced items?
I also want to get these syncro front brake disk shields cut from stainless, try some tank straps on something also.
That is unless something comes along local, legal and Diesel for about a grand, but I can't see that! :lol:

Welcome to use the Doka for a while if it helps move development along.

It will be taxed and MOT'd next week - it's just not being used.

Let me know if its of any use.

Think I'm sorted now ta.
Just final details to thrash out and make sure the "deal" is mutually beneficial.
