A V-8 van in my driveway

Post by reaper »

Well,here it is....
Todd,AKA Canadavan was selling his V-8 Astro CL.
I put some time in it doing the V-8 swap,with Todd,& the Hauler boys,
so I was familiar with what I was buying.
It needs some TLC & some minor work done to it,but overall
runs strong & by far way more comfy than my honda civic which I
sold.Todd went thru flaming hoops for me yesterday & installed a new cat
& drove it thru aircare,so I could get it insured right away.
He also went over allot of things in regards to the van,he almost sounded
as if he was saying goodbye to a old friend.Well Todd It's gone to
a good home & anytime you feel the need to drive it again,feel free to
just ask.

Dang it, I had inside information , a 50/50 chance. and I blew it. I put my $ (worth only 23 cents Canadian) on Kidhauler. #-o

Well played :rock: Sanj, and congrats. Good to see it go to a good home where it will be treated well, and not be crashed into grocery carts.

Congrads Sanja =D> this is number three correct?

Don't ever pick up a stray dog though....next thing you'd have a house full #-o ,on the other hand you would probably be an A-1 pack leader :supz:
