I'd like to find some that area kinda round and looked like barstools from the 70s. Not sure what style they are but diamond stitched black vynal like an aircraft is where i was heading. I remember old FG chairs with that same style low back, kinda round with the sides have a 45deg angle to them. Maybe These gladiators can be cut down even

Okay, I went back to Wrench a part today and got all 4 pop-out windows the jack knife bed, and a Ladder.
Jackknife seat looked great until I ripped it on the light switch stuffing it in the back of my G20 :/
Probably just clean up and sell the ladder. all the bits are there

So I have been driving by here on my way to the gym. The van hasn't moved but it definitely looks like the side windows are all busted and that's why it is sitting. I spoke to the guy who owns the carwash next door and he said the owner of the building is trying to sell the building but uses the lot for storage right now. I think I saw him there last night and again this afternoon but I was unable to stop both time. I currently have a lead on two short vans. This one and an honest to god short panel van that was a milk delivery van in the 70's. I need some land laugh

You and me both! I keep finding smoking deals on vans, but no room to store them, and only a 1 car garage to work on them. I need at least 3 bays, a lift, and about 10 acres.

1990 Vandura in a yard near me. I am gonna scope it today for the slider and see what's left. It has only been there a week, but I am tempted to wait because there is a Lincoln like mine in a closer yard that has only been there for two days and I need stuff off that one.


It had a short slider so I left it alone for the Venturi Vent on the roof. She has a hole in the top and a cracking base due to heat. It might be past saving but definitely has some great parts inside.

I think I can work it, see what happens.
