I've had many different types of vehicles in my life, from lowriders to hot rods from Corvettes to Mopeds LMAO, I've built them all, but this is my first van, its a 1998 Chevy Astro I just picked up from Spokane Washington from a buddy of mine named "Tom" a really good person, he did the work to the van and he did a great job, I usualy buy stock vehicles and fix them up but I just had to pick his one up already done, on top of the fact that we're still trying to seddle in our new place here in San Antonio and can't spend unessesary kala (money in hawaiian) on building up vehicles I just loved the way this van looked, Tom if your reading this, great job on this van man! Mahalo nui loa bradda Tom!

heres a few pics.

Mahalo, not sure what "Bit o kit" means but never the less, Mahalo.

I'll pick up on the lingo here on the mainland some day.

Welcome to the site, just a reminder, when in Texas say "Howdy" not Aloha, and if you get an opportunity, to go farther to the Southeast, say "Hey Ya-All" LOL. WELCOME

Mahalo guys for the nice words, is this the only forum around for people who own vans/suv's?

This forum is not the only one.

AstroSafari.com = Crashes a lot, site owner no longer owns an Astro and doesn't maintain the site. Members from there got together and created this site.

AstroSafari.co.uk = Our UK brothers

Astro-Van.de = Germany?

I see, thats to bad, but a great thing on the other hand it seemed to have brought lots of van owners closer together yea? so that in its self is a good thing.


so how long has this forum been running for?
