The van is my daily driver and being a low income family I haven't been able to put a lot of TLC into it. It's been a good van, however, and I'm very proud it's still alive and kicking. As little things go out here and there I figured I'd read up on the mechanic sections of this forum to help get some tips and tricks on repairs.
On a lighter note, I did get to have some fun with it last year and decked it out to resemble the "Ecto 1" from Ghostbusters (complete with lights and siren) and walked in the Columbus 4th of July "Doo Dah Parade" with my friends (pictured below, I'm the one in the middle with the hat):

My hope is to keep the thing running and eventually give it a new paint job and redo the roof rack and lights so it makes a proper Ectomobile (minus the rust stained roof and chipped paint). Of course, that'll probably take a few years of saving up some cash so I can pump into it.
Anyways, thanks for checking out my intro post. Hope you enjoy.
