Both front wheels had these. What is it? I'm thinking some type of sensor!

That would be an ABS sensor....

Ambition is just a small part of it!

Interesting project jbird, thanks for sharing with us

Removed the rad. and some other things

Hmmmmm


Removed the control arms. The bottom one's came out easy. But the tops i had to bust out the 3/4 impact! BIG BOY TOY. Thought the 1/2 would work...No way!

More to come!!!

Anyone have a couple of pictures of there frame where the top control arm bolts into. Mine was cut and i need to see a factory picture! the peice is welded to the frame!

I remember meeting Justin and his awesome van at a StroFari meet up / barbyQ when I was visiting FL back in `07.

His van looks slick and is still under constant construction (I can appreciate that). Aren`t all of our Custom Astros still in the modifying stages, I know that mine is, still wearing a slutty white primer dress while I experiment on her body, with new modifications.

We had a Great time at that StroFari meet in Central Florida, it was soo fun to meet fellow members and that we all spoke the same Astro language.

I had such a Fantastic time that day, meeting fellow Florida StroFari members for the First time, and we had a Blast....!

That Dash and Steering colum WILL be getting ripped out and a Sheet Metal dash will get put in and with the steering colum i will be putting a older colum in. I like the skinny Colum from the older models.

Great times meeting all you guys.

[jbird]

Bye Bye Dash! And boy look at that Electrical CRAP!


Inner Fenders no longer!

I'm not really looking forward to the Electrical. It has a AutoPage Alarm system in it and i might remove it. Glad to have a Friend that is a 12V Electrical GOD. I will be looking torwads him for BIG help!
