This is going to be the new build thread for my 95 g30 1 ton.

Named it FrictionAffect...like the sparks flying off a grinder. Vanplan is to put most of my efforts into the interior keeping it a sleeper. Except the exhaust. When the time comes color change and mural of sparks down the side. The usual visor, wing, maybe ports and captain seats for sure.(what ya got in your shop). I regret not garbing those no window back doors couple months back but that will come. Got a no window slider to put on and gonna put my electric locks and window doors on ASAP.

The van has a new "rebuilt" 350 with about 8k on the motor and 121k on the dash. Gotta get the trans shifting out of 1st. Runs and drives very smooth.

Got a little busy yesterday and today. Put a new battery tray and battery in and changed the horn. Did a fluid check and put some Seafoam in. Changing all fluids and putting new brake hoses on in the morning.

Top to bottom cleaning with bleach and then ammonia to kill off the moss and spores from sitting. Didn't come across any mold which is a good thing. Ya realize how big these things are when ya wash um... haha

Does have some front fender rust and the rockers were botched by someone. A lot more metal there then it appears. Changing bumpers tomorrow too.

And put my 3" exhaust with an over the counter Thrush coming out in front of the tire. Vrooom Vrooom. It will do for now.

Nothing like a blank canvas to start with!!! Keep the pics as you are now coming!!


It is better to have Van'd once in your life, then to never had Van'd at all!
