Holy crap dude! Remind me to never ever piss you off while there are cutting tools around. In the time it would take me to leave my van to take a leak you would have it half disassembled before I got back.

Dang!!!

I need to get to WMass! I want the sheet metal where the third windows go, the windshield if it isn't cracked, the front hubs, maybe the trans case, the extra front diff when you are done with it, the resistor for the blower motor, the y-pipe/cat. What you doing with all that stuff?

***Wondering if road tripping Green to WMass after the trans is fixed would be worth it***

:-k

Google maps says it's only a 16 hour drive. :)

Reviewing the pics the back doors, hood, and slider look better than Grumpy's. I'm drooling here.

Aaron,calm down ........I cracked the windshield trying to save it....had it 90% out and it craked.It was too cold yesterday to be trying.The rear doors are trash,the hood has a small dent above the lock mech.and the slider I'm hanging onto.I pulled the heater gizmo yesterday 'cause I have had heat but no control over it.So I'm keeping all that until I figure out the problem.
What is the sheet metel behind the 3rd window????
Haven't figured out the front mechanical stuff yet. I just need to get this stripped down so it's not in the yard.
