Keep the pics coming, we love pictures.

Thanks for the tip! I pulled the ABS rings and drilled the ABS wire retainer rivet so I have clean dust shields now. Just need to clean and paint. I ordered the Powerstop rotor and pad kit, came with these rotors and matching pads, looks like I might be good...

You know, a van makes an excellent family tow vehicle when properly equipped. With a couple of little ones to raise, you never know, a guy just might wanna pull a camper some day...... grin

🤣 That was the reason for the van, so we DIDN'T have to pull a camper lol! But yeah, we really wanna get out on the road... Excited to get it driving better than new.

Man, Ah64pilot...
You need to slow down a little on your van.
You're going to fix it all up in just a couple of days.
lol

Looks like it's coming along really well.

Today was cleaning and painting mostly... Cosmetic stuff.

I was waiting for other stuff to dry so I messed around with a silver flake paint pen and detailed the branding on the spindles. I'm dumb, I know 😂

Painted the calipers and measured for stickers - going to have our names on each side of the front calipers. My wife hates driving so mine will be on the driver's side.
