Returned from stiffer to oem softer coils and springs (soooooo much more enjoyable) New upper and lower control arms and ball joints New idler arms New (integrated shim) brake pads since shims on last pads came loose and stuck to the piston Painted everything I had time to paint while it was all apart

Also finally having the Swiss cheese driver side floor pan replaced while it's in the shop. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 557 | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 557 | Took the grandson out romping to show what he's in for when its his ...

Found the leak, ordered some new weather stripping. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Aug 2017 Posts: 1,061 Likes: 47 old hand | old hand Joined: Aug 2017 Posts: 1,061 Likes: 47 | Got 75% done on the carpet but stopped cold at the rear bolts for the bench seat brackets. I'd have to get under it to take them off which isn't happening in my driveway. Off to the upholstery shop I go, as I might as well take care of the droopy headliner.
I have a major sinus pain and pressure migrane now, I guess there was some mold goin on in there. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Aug 2017 Posts: 1,061 Likes: 47 old hand | old hand Joined: Aug 2017 Posts: 1,061 Likes: 47 | Installed new door weather stripping, hopefully stops the leak, we'll see on Friday. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Aug 2017 Posts: 1,061 Likes: 47 old hand | old hand Joined: Aug 2017 Posts: 1,061 Likes: 47 | Went by an upholstery shop to see what they could do....they were very nice and offered to help take out the bolts if I was going to do my own install, and put them back in after the new carpet was in. But I'm pretty sure any mechanic would do this for me.
I could also not even bother taking out the bolts, cut the old stuff out around them, and make minimal holes in the new carpet at their locations. What to do... | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Oct 2016 Posts: 294 Likes: 6 enthusiast | enthusiast Joined: Oct 2016 Posts: 294 Likes: 6 | I was gifted a Jegs TBI "salad bowl" last Christmas but hadn't put it on yet because the air cleaner base needed to be trimmed to have a wider opening. Tonight I had a family friend use his plasma cutter to trim the air cleaner base opening to about the air filter's 8 inch inner diameter with enough of the raised ring left over to help keep the filter in place, then he grinded it smooth, now I just need to paint it with some high temp paint. Before: After: The "salad bowl" which replaces the oem choke collar, still have to try to adjust the transmission dipstick tube out of the way.
