Safari door armrests suck. Quick fix. Seen it at astrosafari. I have tons of 3/4 plywood. Cut them, sanded, some body filler, more sanding, primer and more of the overly glossed paint. I drilled 2 holes on the back side, I'm going to epoxy small bolts to hold them in place. 8 bucks, 2 hours, and no more cut up elbows! | | | Re: Vanessa, 2005 GMC Safari RWD. | Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 veteran | veteran Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 | | | | Re: Vanessa, 2005 GMC Safari RWD. | Joined: Mar 2021 Posts: 208 Likes: 35 enthusiast | OP enthusiast Joined: Mar 2021 Posts: 208 Likes: 35 | This morning all was dry, so I epoxyed the bolts in place. I'm going to epoxy the top of the armrest, in hope to stop it from getting worst. Then drill 2 holes, in the door panel to bolt these in place. Not going to be installing today, maybe this weekend. My passenger side window isn't working. I replaced the window and both switches. Something messed up somewhere, cut wire? I need to take the door panel off and get into it. I also have some speakers that have been kicking around. So I'm getting a few quick upgrades while I have the door panels off. I have 4 of these speakers, 2 in front doors and 2 in back Dutch doors. Thanks for the comments! More to come. | | | Re: Vanessa, 2005 GMC Safari RWD. | Joined: Jul 2019 Posts: 11,241 Likes: 412 Post Junkie | Post Junkie Joined: Jul 2019 Posts: 11,241 Likes: 412 | Nice work on the armrests: Vanner Engineering ! | | | Re: Vanessa, 2005 GMC Safari RWD. | Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 18,536 Likes: 136 Supreme Master | Supreme Master Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 18,536 Likes: 136 | Arianrhod:2003 Chevy Astro Black Magic: 1985 Dodge B-250 Serenity:1985 Chevy G-20 The Outcast:1983 Ford club wagon Luna 1974 VW bay window transporter Freedom:1990 Ford E-150(parts van) Outcast Vanners van club Support your local 2% | | | Re: Vanessa, 2005 GMC Safari RWD. | Joined: Mar 2021 Posts: 208 Likes: 35 enthusiast | OP enthusiast Joined: Mar 2021 Posts: 208 Likes: 35 | Its been too long! Been vacationing with the family, had a great time. Now back to the vans! The old lady got sick of me bragging about my vans, so she got another van. It's nice, 30,000 miles, rear DVD, and lots of extras. It's all set up to be a family cruiser. So, Vanessa is going to be Daddy's van! I will be changing a few plans and build it to more of my needs. Last night I finished the backup camera, USB, and GPS. Loving it! Now the van has all the modern functionality of a new car. I'm hands-free texting in my VAN. I cut out the blank for the keyhole on the plate holder. Pretty basic, but keeps it factory looking. Works great. The old 07 town and country has to be cleaned and put up for sale. So I will be stuck on that for the day or two.

Vinyl stripes, perforated over the rear windows. My initials are TL. So, a "T" on the hood and "L" down the side. I call the van Vanessa, so I also put a "V" on the hood. I dont have a marker to match the factory color, but it will be staying the same. Flares, air dam, folding rag top. I'm happy with the final look of the van. I will be doing an interior rendering soon. | | | Re: Vanessa, 2005 GMC Safari RWD. | Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 18,536 Likes: 136 Supreme Master | Supreme Master Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 18,536 Likes: 136 | I really like that rendering. Looking forward to seeing it come to life.

Can't wait to see how it comes out. | | |
