Re: my new project
not bad for $600, have fun, go nuts, hide the receipts.
'89 Astro, 4.3L, TBI. Minor intake and exhaust mods. Rebuilt 700R4 trans (by me). Corvette servo, 0.5" boost valve, police grade 1-2 accumulator spring (shifts fast and solid). B&M stacked plate trans cooler. Bilstein shocks. Belltech sway bars front and back. New head unit, speakers and subwoofer. Needs paint and a new headliner.

Re: my new project
Great price! Should be fun to do.
1989 RS Astro, V-8 and maybe a shift it myself tranny, still deciding on this one. Dutch doors, Cad tail lights, shaving the rest now. 12 bolt rear end was in the van when I got it but changing how it sets to lower.

Re: my new project
thanks couldnt believe it had such low miles
thinking of making it into a camping van
it had a bunch of decals all over it that I peeled off does any one have any suggestions of how to remove the sticky residue?

Re: my new project
Mineral spirits is a pretty mild solvent. I used it to remove the adhesive left behind when I removed some graphics. It wont hurt the paint but it does require some elbow grease.
