Your work is amazing I don’t have Instagram but my lady does so we peeked at your Instagram page and she goes “damn you need to step up your game!†She was very impressed with the work both you and your wife have done.

It's been a long road, but I am so excited to finally be getting to a somewhat completed state. I just wish there were some van events to go to! | | | Re: Tuner4life's 1985 Chevy G20 4 Speed Build Thread | Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 veteran | veteran Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 | Gorgeous work as always. This thing is looking more like a high end luxury ride than a car hauling van.

I stepped away for a year or so, and when I came back I saw the stuff about your headliner. My 7-year-old literally clapped when he saw the stars and the upholstery work.

Awesome workmanship, even more impressive is your creative eye for design. Very nice.
A bit of a pedestrian question for such a rockin van, but I was wondering what your mileage is on the van unloaded? Not a lot of manual transmission vans around so I'm curious how that changes things for mpg. | | | Re: Tuner4life's 1985 Chevy G20 4 Speed Build Thread | Joined: Sep 2013 Posts: 1,015 Likes: 19 old hand | OP old hand Joined: Sep 2013 Posts: 1,015 Likes: 19 | Thank you Chiorboy!
While the manual does help with towing, the gas mileage isn't really much better than an automatic. The last time I calculated it, unloaded, it will get around 15-16 mpg on the highway. If I am pulling the car, it gets around 10.. But the 305 is very under powered, so I definitely have to drive it harder than I would a more powerful van for the same result.
