O.k., it is a Toyota car.
Yes, there are similarities of the appearance.
There are some illusion differences, though…
The Syncro Heresy
yes the “Panda Levin” was a black-and-white variant of a Toyota AE86 which featured heavily in the “initial D” graphic novel and is part of drifting lore. I realise it’s quite a different car from the Jetta but I just liked how it reminded me of the Panda ๐

Yes, the Jetta is different… The same is true for a Syncro g60 Passat:
The Syncro Heresy
Hello, came back up here to say hi after so many years…
I have had an 89 Golf syncro since 2003-ish, kept it in sort of hibernation until 2006 when I finally had the car back on the road.
Then joined this syncro forum shortly after to look for information that was rarely available where I live, Japan.
Kept driving until 2015.
I actually still have the syncro, again in hibernation for about past 10yrs, and now I am starting to get it back on the road once again.
Before I actually start moving toward the work the car needs to go through, just wanted to say to all the Gulus on here.
So hi! Hope to be able to come back again soon!
Welcome back Shinya, I am very happy to see you still have your Syncro!

heyy!! welcome back! that’s great the syncro is still in the mix. I’d wondered what had become of it. It’s looking a lot tidier than mine, but maybe lives in a nicer environment.

Hey ๐๐ผ
Iโm James in Norwich. Just got myself a 1989 Syncro with GU engine. Itโs been stored for nearly 10 years due to wheel well rot in the rear. Overall itโs in pretty good shape – engine recommissioned already and prepping for welding. Basic brake service and fluids then off for an MOT to see where we are ๐ฌ
Iโm documenting the work on TikTok if you want to see some videos ๐
heya Billy, welcome to the forum!
That looks like an interesting project… I guess the tower rot explains the “stance” on the rear. I did wonder.
I don’t use tiktok myself but maybe others do ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ

Yes Welcome, It will be interesting to see how you are going to get on with the rebuild, can you also post progress on here please, as I for one & ID50 for another (and possibly many others)do not have or use tiktok, it would be great if you could.
