Hello from Southern Ontario Canada

Post by Grover »

Hi all found this forum soon after I bought a 95 GMC Safari van, truth be told I kinda wish someone told me about these vans when I first started my business. It would have saved me $$ in gas over the last 4 years.

The above mentioned van is currently in the shop getting fixed, the usual stuff brakes and brake lines and some front end parts.

I'll post the pics of it in the other sub-forum.
