I bought a new truck! Well, new to me. I am also a masochist, so the truck I bought is a 1990 VW Syncro Doka. Doka is short for DoppelKabine or Double Cabin. There were very few made and most have been imported by individuals.
Syncro Transaxles are made of glass, velociraptor foreskin, hope, and disappointment. However, this truck is my unicorn! I have wanted it for YEARS. It has a 1.9L Turbo Diesel engine that is mostly great (there is a bit of tuning and tweaking to do), the paint & interior are perfect, and it is already set up to be my new work truck!
In the video I take you for along for the purchase, a complete tour of the vehicle, and a surprise for me toward the end.
