I am having problems with my local Advanced.
They no longer carry parts that i bought from then 7 years ago when i 1st started working on my 2nd gen.....
I bought a bunch of stuff.

Ok the "Beast" is back to her Bad A$$ self.
Sorry no pictures. I am in the middle of redoing my home office and my Card reader is MIA.

Of coarse doing this job I noticed some other things that need some attention.All cosmetic....

I really needed that ride.Taking this van out and running it HARD still excites me.The harder I drive it the better it runs.

There are some more cool body mods and tricks I plan on adding in the future.
Unlike restoring a 69 Camaro of Chevelle.
A van is never done.
It can't be built out of a catalog.
If you get "Bored' with any part of it.Tear it out and make it better.....
