That is awesome.

Love this build!

Who doesn't. Even more amazing is Dave;s talent and his 1st van build. Hey Dave; have you thought about doing a early 70's grill and front bumper ?

I thought about it, but you don't actually see too many like mine anyway, so I think I will stick with it for now. It's a huge expense to try to get it to look older, when its already 30 years old, and looks pretty cool
I wish I could find LED headlights for it, but not much of an option for these little square things.
I am trying to get the interior done before I do anything else.
I would like to do a 4 link for the rear with coil overs for a better ride, but for now, just trying to get what needs to get done first.

In town, Ive only seen 2 other vans, and those guys went crazy when they seen mine
Not many vans around anymore.
I do get lots of looks, especially since I put the new wheels and tires.
Mud flaps are also in, look good and keep the mud off my sides.

Your van looks Primo Dave. can't wait for your next set of pics

Sweet looking one!

Havent had so much time to do stuff because of work and the weather, that's why I was so in a hurry to get it drivable.
I knew I wasn't going to have time in the winter

But, I have had a little time for some stuff.

Here are a couple of photos of the two speaker boxes I built for an 8" woofer. Built two, to go behind each seat.

And here is another picture of me parked. Just happy to drive this every day

Love this angle

And have been doing little on the inside.
Was able to cut all new door panels
Carpeted and installed with all new window and door switches
Also made some small doughnuts as spacers for the door speakers.
Finally some music up front.
