Vannin' Home Forums General Discussion Readers Rides update on my 87 g20

yes, very nice, looks awesome. the blue walls with white trim looks great. the wood is also very nice lookin

Got some more done today. Back doors and one of the panels.

Van is looking awesome bro! Are you planning on some limo tint for the windows at some point?
I would love to do a photo shoot with our vans together, As they are so much alike.

Thats funny, I was just telling my wife that those windows are getting limo tint. She was worried the fabric might fade. I think the tint will look good and allow me to just put up some curtains and not blinds. Plus it will keep anything from fading even here in Florida.
I should have the back of the van done in a couple weeks. The front is going to be tricky but I have some ideas floating around.
I love all the windows in your topper. Was thinking about adding some to mine but I don't think I am brave enough at this point.

A photo shoot would be cool with our vans. Maybe one day .

the Limo tint will definately help you when camping in it too. You will find out quick that morning daylight SUCKS after a good night of partying with vanners.

hey when you wanna meet up and check out these seats to trade?

I have to see what day I'm free, I have family in town but I'm not working Sat or Sun. I'm also off this Wed and Thurs. So maybe sometime this week would work. Even next week is good. What days are you available?

BTW are the seats as wild in person as they came up in the pics?? lol

When I get home from shift (tomorrow) I'll send you a real good pic of the seats. They have this wierd lever for sliding the seats. I made a basic lever that works much better. You'll see the wierd lever in the pics. If you have any other of the blue seats would love to see them too. I'm wondering what the fronts look like.

I only got the 2 front ones. they are that swirly crushed velour look. They are definately cool. Yesterday and today are my days off but im off at 4 the rest of the week. if nothing else we can figure somethin out at V4V. You still plannin on coming? Im leaving around 1 friday.

I'd like to go to V4V but I won't be able to do an overnighter and I don't want to pay unless I can do the whole thing. Plus my van isn't ready. I don't have anything in the back at all. I should get the storage pieces done this week and I'm hoping to get the electronics in there too. My roof isn't done yet either. So I have a ways to go before I'm willing to take her out to show off at all. The pics on here don't show the undone stuff. It's still pretty rough where I haven't started working yet. I will get her done soon though. I'm even thinking of a name for her. lol

I might be able to head down your way one day this week or next and meet up sometime after 4. I only need two seats since I am eliminating the middle captains chair. Eventually I hope to put the swivel base back in there with a low back seat instead of a captains chair. It depends on what I do to the rear still.

BTW, how are your seats mounted to the bases? Mine are bolted to the swivel bases with four bolts. Very easy to remove. Hoping that they will be easy to switch. I don't want to pull out the bases since I'd rather not drill more holes in the van to mount new bases. I'll take some pics when I get home. I have one seat out so you can see how it mounts.
