Buy the parts it actually needs, when the cash is there and not getting distracted by shiney speedfreakery or putting off boring jobs until it goes terminal.

Re: ...Syncronauts New Year Resolutions...
Fit the parts I have bought over the last 6 years.. well the parts that are nice additions rather than the needed to do.., they have been done.. need some more tho
Oh and get the mods done that have been on the cards for a while..
And get it spruced up.. its been 6 years of good use since I did the original spruce up... she deserves it
And of course.. try and get out there a bit more and do some trips...

Re: ...Syncronauts New Year Resolutions...
1.stop getting distracted by all the things everyone else is doing on their vans and concentrate on getting my syncro on the road 
2.buy all the cheap syncro`s that come up for sale in denmark and hoard them
3. when my bus is finished get over to the uk and put the first dents and scratches in it with a bit of learning by doing green laning
4. try not to use nr 1 as a resolution next year

And a perennial favourite of mine - remember to drive smugly and purposefully in all driving conditions. Now that is an easy one to keep!

Re: ...Syncronauts New Year Resolutions...
Great, I really thought it was just me who bought stuff & never fitted/used it!! But, it seems, there is loads of us.
I was just thinking the other day if I put all the hours I've spent on 80/90 into the garage I'd have more than one road legal/working van!!
Hmmmmmm, Resolutions.......
Sell one van. (not sure which)
Then get scooby working.
Get Ratter working.
And obviously get 25year old mistress!!

Re: ...Syncronauts New Year Resolutions...
25 year old mistress sounds like a great idea.
I can only think of 2 drawbacks
1 I'd never be able to keep up!!
2 The missus would prefer the syncro.
