Congrats. :cheers:
The outside looks great. How's the rust situation and the interior? How much did you pay?

Dang that's way cheap! An AWD van like that in CA would be like 8K and up. Hence why I don't have one yet. Nice find. I paid that for my '97 and that was 2K less than average because I bought it from family.

What are your plans for it?
