General Comments:

My step dad's work van that was decommissioned in the late 90ies with a shot engine. I got it for free. It was in storage until 2002 when I rebuilt the engine. The rest of the van was pretty tired, so various work to get it working. Dead simple to work on, cheap parts and good availability. Surprisingly good to drive, more comfortable than most newer vans.

I'm using this van regularly most summers, I just love it.
