No problemo, no hurry. Man I love the trim on that van too; if I keep windows I'm definitely thinking the louvers would be awesome. I'll have to find a GT now. Too many vans, so little time. You get a little effort into it, That'll be a killer van to roll around in; for $200 I'm jealous!

Hey Sanj when are you going to pull the motor??? I know a guy with a engine hoist I could probably steel the dumbass gave me a key to his house :rolleyes: . I am free on Sunday to come give a hand I can bring my compressor and air tools if you want. See what you can find for a engine stand and lets rip that baby out. I could be free on Saturday as well if that works better for you I will just scratch my name for working Sat afternoon.

I think Princess Auto has stands for around $60.

Just found a complete running 454! It is in a buddy’s storage locker and he wants it out by the end of March. Should be cheap if not FREE!!
So Sanj,........it would be close to the end of the month =D>
Are you adding a 454 to your ever growing collection =P~ ?

Stephanie;

What is the color of your 93 baby? I am thinking of painting my 91 Safari the same or similar color.

Thanks,

In 93 they had two teals.. a light and a darker.. and they also had two shades of something called quasar blue. Below are the codes.. plus one other that was a spin on a shade of blue, Indigo.
I'd guess Stephanies is the last in the list..

WA9790 - Lt Quasar Blue Met (93 - 94)
WA9791 - Med Quasar Blue Met (93 - 95)
WA9792 - Indigo Met (93 - 96)
WA9793 - Lt Teal Met (92 - 96)
WA9828 - Medium Dark Teal Met (92 - 03)

Thank you for the paint codes. My Safari is a lighter color blue, but since I have to repaint it, I was thinking of something a bit darker, kind of like Stephanies van, or maybe aquamarine, or tropic teal metllic. I think the darker color adds a bit of depth and solidity to the van.

Thanks again for the info. It is greatly appreciated.

Drive safely,
