Post a pick of your syncro? although we all like suzukis were a pretty eclectic bunch and like all different types of car, 6k should get you a fantastic SJ, if i was you id bide my time good SJs do come up on eBay from time to time and don't be tempted by a project!
Fiberglass would be ok.
My syncro is a t25 camper.
I dont want a project just one that needs a little work and one that i can up grade.
I might buy a old shape mini as a run around (had one before vw syncro) and wait for a sj to come along.

Fourtracks do have quite a bit of power and are bombproof however I think a derv converted sj would actually go better as they weigh a lot less. I don't actually think there's much power difference between them and a pug or vw 1.9 tdi either eventhough they are 2.8l??
Right you can lie fully stretched out in the back of a LWB with the seats forwards

Like it Scottie. Almost a proper scientific experiment that.
