Bad Astro III

Post by ksmith »

I put 16,000 miles on our '96 AWD conversion van in 9 months, and I decided I wanted to save it, so I started looking for another Astro... I found this one on Autotrader.com. This is a '98, 2 wheel drive, and came from Knoxville Tennessee, and had 70,000 miles on it, no rust...

Just off the transport truck...

Changed the rims, it helped a little...

Then I airbrushed and cut some flames out of vinyl...
