Vannin' Home Forums General Discussion Readers Rides Clean Francine - 2000 Astro LS AWD

Got the front shocks on today. Man what a pain getting to the top nut on the passenger side. Also decided to go ahead and do the passenger side caliper and hose. Seemed like that side was getting a little hotter than the other, figured the caliper was beyond due replacing it, might as well throw a new one on. MAN what a darn difference all the new shocks and brakes made. Feels like a brand new van.

I’ve got shocks ready for mine, excited to see what the difference in ride will be. Looks great. You’re putting in some work!

Excellent work going on there. Nice score on those speakers!

I'm SOOOOO stoked on the difference my shocks made. AMAZING!

Lots of good stuff going on there. It's great to see the kids involved too.

Thanks man! I'm super stoked they are always so eager to learn and pitch in. Very blessed indeed.

On a side note, the girls are about to do their very first entire brake job on their own for a friend of ours on her 2007 Honda Odyssey van. She needs all new pads and she has one wheel bearing making a funky noise. Sounds like a 50cc moped stuck in the wheel well above 45mph. LOL!

Nothing major lately, but we did get the rear bumper on today.

Still not much time to work on either van, but I put off some plumbing and electrical work in the renovation house to make an MDF cubby box for an old Chevy Blazer console I got with the 82 G10. I like to hold hands with my wife, but it's not so easy with nothing to lay your hands on. I'll see how I like the height for a week or so then clean and paint it.

That is pretty good looking console..upholster the lid and have a comfortable hand holding platform.. you are the man. For real kursed.
