That's good to hear. Worked on our 6th vans windshield. Needs a lot of repair.

Picked my son up from school in it yesterday (He's five years old).
The volunteers kind of had a hard time registering that he was being picked up by a van, as they kept looking at the name tag in the window and making faces of confusion. Seems they just associate him with the "cool car", as they call it.
He was excited and was just waving to me and smiling from where they told him to wait.
The volunteer that helped load him said, "Sorry, I saw him there ready to go, but didn't see the Cool Car, so I was confused."
I said, "Yeah, it's like I snuck up on you. Sorry about that."

As we were leaving the school property, my son said, "We should take the Challenger tomorrow, so that lady won't be disappointed that we didn't bring the Cool Car."
I said, "Well, I think our van is cool."
To which he said, "We think our van is cool, but they don't know."

I rewired the $25 Walmart stereo that was in my van when I bought it.

PO had it wired directly to the battery terminals. It was a nightmare hack-job behind the dash. Trim plate not installed, luckily I found it in the back of the van during my initial clean out. The antenna was not even plugged in. "I don't know why the radio is out, you just have to use Bluetooth with your cellphone", he says. Well I'm old-school, Jack. I don't have a cellphone, I don't blew-toof, and I like my sh!t to work.

It's still cheapo crap with janky speakers, but now it comes on and off with the key, holds my presets, and isn't just sticking out like a glory hole.

Just like store-bought!

Hard to believe how someone will wire things up.

Replaced the van's alternator and voltage regulator, did some under hood rewiring/rerouting and resisted the urge to send it to the junkyard.

Cut off the ORIGINAL Sway Bar Bushings in prep for prime and paint. Could have sworn we replaced them 5 years ago but I guess not since the original number and mopar symbol were on them. Time to buy another new part. Front end re-do has grown from replacing one idler arm to both idler arms, all control arms, shocks, coil springs and sanding, priming and painting anything I can find time to do while waiting on parts to arrive! Sure wish I could have found a clear coat that would have not rusted underneath or turned yellow as everything I am sanding down has had only rust and not an ounce of paint so I assume she was quite bling bling underneath her front end in her hey-day! For now, they'll be semi-gloss black and should hold another 30 years.
