| | | Project Dajiban! Modding my '99 Dodge Van #634360 September 04th 2013 10:24 pm | Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 57 journeyman | OP journeyman Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 57 | Hey all, Here is my new to me 99 Dodge Ram Van. The Van was found in Texas and is absolutely rust free and mint. The underside is so clean this mid-western boy cant hardly believe it! I have pretty big plans for this van. In fact the day I returned from Texas. I spent two hours removing the front end(grille, turn signals and lower trim parts so I could polish the headlights. As you can see they are very clouded. I use a Professional headlight kit from Meguiars. I started by sanding 300, 500, 800 and then wet sanded with 1200 and 3000grit. After that I polished them and they look mint. More updates coming. | | | Re: Project Dajiban! Modding my '99 Dodge Van | Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 57 journeyman | OP journeyman Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 57 | | | | Re: Project Dajiban! Modding my '99 Dodge Van | Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 57 journeyman | OP journeyman Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 57 | So the first day back in the shop with the Van I got to work and ordered the new Bumpers and front grille. I picked up the parts from Certifit(sort of fits). The parts actually fit very well. The chrome is very good and the price is great. The front bumper was $140-150, the rear bumper was $150 and the grille was $60 or so. You can see the damage to the factory bumper. I was able to pick up a new upper trim piece at a wrecking yard on the way back from Texas for $15. Installed with the new grille mounted. Next up I need to fix the sliding side door. This part is worn and its not latching the best. Til next time. Chad | | | Re: Project Dajiban!
