Looking great. I had to replace all the wiring in my last van and now I have to do it again in the van I am chopping. Loose wires everywhere and brittle and cracked. Not looking forward to it so I feel your pain

So the tiny mirrors are working out ok - visibility isn't too bad, and with some of those little stick-on parabolic mirrors I can get used to it.

Today I put in a new speedo, only because I wanted a working odometer. I couldn't figure out how to fix the old one, so I threw $ at the problem.

Wonder why they switched from odd to even numbers on the speedo....?

Coming to a crossroads....talked to the paint & body guy down the road that charges $60/hr. Long story short, whoever 'painted' the van previously did more damage than good, i.e. painting on top of paint without sanding/roughing up the old stuff first. So we're talking a sh*tload of labor just to get it to a repaintable state. Option 2 would be spraying it with this Raptor stuff (like Rhino liner or Hippo textured coatings), which wouldn't take as much prep. He recommended that, but I don't really like how it looks.

Not sure what I want to do at this point. Much sleeping upon it will be happening.

Don't wanna drive it as is? People are hurting right now for work. I'd hit up offer up or CL and start hunting for a body guy. It might not be show quality, but you might find someone.

I was totally planning to drive it as-is but the paint has kind of degraded since bringing it home, i.e. bondo cracking and peeling off in spots. I know I've only gotten one dude's opinion, maybe I'm just getting ahead of myself a little. And fostering my love-slight dislike relationship lol ....my wandering eye doesn't help.

Black Magic is done in rust-oleum bed liner. I'm not crazy about it but it works. I just didn't have the 3-4k to drop on a professional job.
