nothing wrong with more doors. Easier to get more hoes in (or kids in my case)

5 door only and only 650 of those.

Why not buy LHD?

Either just deal with it, or convert to RHD.  It really wouldn't be that tough.  I know there's at least two LHD Syncros that have been converted.  One's a Limited and t'other's just a boggo Syncro 3 door.

Suppose it would be easyer to weld and smooth the back doors of a five door, rather than change from left to right hd.
Only ever driven a 5dr golf once and that was my mums !!!

Nowt wrong with 5drs, it means you haven't got to get out to let people in.

And you can get a 3dr syncro, but it'll have a supercharged lump in it, and the steering wheel on the wrong side.

This is a hideous idea and you should be flayed for considering it.

RHD conversion would likely be significantly less work, plus while you're at the purchasing you could buy an injected model and have the lift-pump pre-installed, saving further aggro.

And you can get a 3dr syncro, but it'll have a supercharged lump in it, and the steering wheel on the wrong side.

Yes, it's called the G60 GTI Syncro.  :wink:

if you want 3dr RHD  make it.

converting LHD golf to RHD is easy all the bits are avalible off the shelf or donor car all the holes are there,  all you have to do is  drop the subframe swap the steering rack and pas pipes, whip the dash out remove the pedal box,  put bungs in holes and reseal floor,  whip the fusebox and wireing looms and heater boxes and ducting out.  and then fit parts from donor car to the other side. 

the only more intrestig bit is stock RHD syncro exhausts are sh!t so you'll need to make one

Given that there were only 650 of them built in RHD and a significant number have already been scrapped I think you've missed your chance at a cheap Syncro, chap.

Even on mobile.de they're starting at +800 Euros, although for 1600 Euros you could net yourself a 2.9 VR6 Syncro Golf3...... but you need not to be so narrow-minded about sitting on the 'wrong' side of the car.
