I've had this ol van for several years. Used as a work van with seats removed and signage. Semi-retired now and needed something for a grocery getter and the occaisionl road trip when I don't ride my bike,decided to just fix up this van instead of buying somebody elses troubles.
This is a 99 model with 160 k miles,runs great,gets 20 mpg and still holds great oil pressure and uses no oil.Just put five thousand miles on it a road trip back in Aug/Sep.
Just did a general maintenance on every thing. New wheels,tires,brakes,shocks,ball joints,alignment,a/c compressor and evaporator,serviced trans and cooling sys,new water pump and fan clutch,etc. On the outside just removed all the signage,debadged and did a real good detail.
Like I said,nothing fancy but ok for a fifteen year old van.
Nothing fancy
