Did some general cleaning......this sucker is HELLA dirty......the glass is all pretty rough (almost frosted in some spots) and will need to be either replaced or seriously buffed/polished (if that's even possible or worth it) And......here's the junk that was in the various pockets, cubbies, ashtray etc. Not pictured: 1/2 an inch of built up sludge from god knows how long ago. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Sep 2019 Posts: 1,510 Likes: 172 Master Yard Rat | Master Yard Rat Joined: Sep 2019 Posts: 1,510 Likes: 172 | Looks like my ash tray. I haven’t cleaned it out yet, I probably should. It’s only been 14 months. 😂

My wife would be glad to know that you found the pieces to the puzzle she was working on recently. | 1 member likes this:

Also fired a few rounds off with the parts cannon. Purchased upper control arms, lower ball joints, inner/outter tie rods, pitman arm, idler arm, reman steering box, trailer hitch, front calipers, all 3 brake hoses, and my chin spoiler and fender flares came in.

The Econoline started cranking on it's own last week and now I've got a no start issue. Going to have to back burner that because of the wind storms here knocking out power for days, and taking out a tree and part of my fence along with it. Yesterday I started dying the Starcraft seats I pulled from the yard last week. Went with some Rit dye mixed a little stronger than the directions said, but I don't think even that's enough to blacken them. Will probably have to do another pass with less water, good thing I bought 4 bottles. Top is dyed, bottom is original. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 2,320 Likes: 156 veteran | veteran Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 2,320 Likes: 156 |
