for those that either don't know of it or don't remember. this is the van that i bought a couple of years back for myself. ended up a friend was in a car accident and needed something asap. i worked out a payment plan and signed it over. since then i've been the one to do any repairs and upkeep on it. that being said, my friend now has a company van that he drives monday - friday and is looking to buy a little 4 banger sporty thing for the weekends. our agreement was that if he ever decided to get rid of it, i got first dibs.
this is also the van that i put the eneki wheels on that everyone liked so much. they were the trans am gta looking ones that are black with the brushed aluminum lip that i had on my 94 LT for awhile
here's the van when i got it (different rims a bit more rust) --> http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y265/c ... 3%20astro/
here's what i'd like to do.... i would really like clean up the body on it and convert the front end to the colorado style. i know there was someone on the other site that posted some intitial pics of fabing this up... anyone know who he was or where he got with it?
the other thing i'd like consider is a V8. if i end up looking for a shop to the the swap, what should i expect to pay for everything, including an engine with a mild cam and a posi unit installed? really kind of looking for a ballpark so i don't fall off my chair when i ask a shop what it'd cost...
i'm guessing i could find a motor pretty cheap .. there are lots and lots of V8 guys around this hick town with low mile motors sitting in their yards... LOL
thanks
rob
i have a dream
