Almost there...

Took it for an alignment and ended up on my back underneath again (thought I was done with that,) changing an idler arm - The ONLY steering joint I somehow didn't check was the only one badly worn.

Van looks great. You're a great dad to help them with this. I wish them the best of luck.

They really got into it. I was only doing the stuff they couldn't and showing them how to do as much of the rest as possible. They even did a little welding and accompanied me on parts-scavenging forays to the scrap-yard.

It was all my daughter's idea to begin with and she has embraced the whole #vanlife thing (if remaining a bit tongue-in-cheek about it.)

That turned out really nice. It's like a brand new van. I got that same stereo in my van. I had to build a little extension too. Safe travels.
