Another Brit living in Florida!

Post by oldsmoker »

hello people....new member here from sunny south florida...been running my 89 astro for about 18 months now....was given to me by a friend.....kinda put too much $$$ into it to get rid off it?!.....that sound familiar to anyone??

Just renewing all front bushes and springs....found very interesting posts about adding rear sway bars....i like that idea!! also, im looking at changing the rear leaf springs....i guess i have the weird non metal ones?

anyway....glad to be here hello to all ! \:D/
