DAY 7


.We replace the steering wheel back to the original. I felt I was racing Indy 500 with the steering wheel I picked. Not only that, you have to have both of your hands on the wheel to drive..........Im a one hander. So, back to factory until I find a better original steering wheel.

But I learn they are not.


.We added 3 DOME LIGHTS!!! We also order the LED lights for this lights and the instrument panel.
I want my panel to look like this.......

Day 8

Yesterday the wife and I dedicate some time to beautify some parts of our van. For example......

I took all the front panels out.

Clean the dust and dirt from all the wires and frame.

Also took out the dog house and wood tray.

And we painted, painted, painted.....

This is how it looks like now, painted in black and we placed a dash cover.

We used Kylon for the paint. No sanding or primer other than in the wood tray.
Word of advise. Let the paint cure more than 30 minutes.
I went to reassemble and had to touch up. If it wasnt because we use the van on a daily basis, I will let it cured overnight.
