I'm afraid of what I might find hidden in our conversion van.

Good luck with your wires.

Yeah, Fester. If we hadn't decided to strip everything down to the frame we may never have noticed (other than the fuel smell). We thought the PO had just spilled gas on the carpet that ran through to the pad. Once we decided to pull up the wood we noticed two holes in the metal floor that had that rainbow colored circle around them where the fuel had been reacting with the metal.

It was interesting for sure.

Today I replaced the thermostat on my van. Despite the thermostat only being a few years old, it had already failed and was sticking shut causing the van to overheat. New thermostat and all is well!


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

What did I do to our van today? I looked at it. Pretty much all I do to it anymore. Sucks.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserve body,
but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up,
totally worn out, and proclaiming

I took mine on a nice little cruise yesterday. It was a nice day and I drove it for about an hour.

Snowmobile? I've seen those on TV on the weather channel.....
They get the white stuff off the sidewalk, right?
