Got up went to the home depot, purchased a roll of faced R-13 insulation for 11.20. And spent a couple of hours insulating walter the van. The conversion company didn't do a good job at insulation the side doors, rear doors, or the rear corners of the van. I wouldn't be surprised though if the side doors were fully insulated then some of it was thrown out during a repair or something. But the side doors really didn't have any insulation at all. So Walter is fully insulated, when I get back home to FL I will remove the seats and sofa (have to clean the dog hair) and I will remove the interior panels and add insulation where it is needed.

I wanted to insulate the bottom of the driver and passenger door and was doing it and I thought to myself I can't insulate them because the water will encourage mold growth! Damn it!

Well all insulated and hopefully it will help keep the interior temps down a little bit or help keep the inside warm during winter and cooler inside during summer! The old insulation was R-11 so this R-13 should be a bit better, besides I think it was actually better to use the R-13 on the doors because of how thin they are etc...

The one problem I will have when it comes time for paint, removing all of the custom windows.



The winders arent that hard to remove, just time consuming to take all the interior trim out of the way.

I kept fooling with the electronics while rocco buffed out the scratches. Washed it, waxed it, and cleaned out the inside....again. Waxing a full size van sucks! Thank god for winders lol

I got my $26 air dam installed. I rattled canned it the same color as my van last night and it turned out OK, but I need to put another coat of paint on since there are a few light spots.

Before the air dam with the fog lights:

With the air dam but no fog lights (air dam uses the same bolt holes the fog lights were mounted in):

This air dam mounts in the same holes as the smaller factory air dam that was on the van, so I had to remove the original air dam to make way for this one. I like the raised v-shaped section in the middle that matches the contours of the license plate opening in the bumper. I need to figure out a way to mount the fog lights again without cutting into the air dam. I am making 600 mile round trip family road trip this weekend and hope to see if the air dam improves fuel economy. I miss the fog lights already, but I am pretty happy with this bargain spoiler.


Windows- they're what make a van worth owning!
