Re: What's Your New Year's Resolution?
My resolutions are simple and a lot like some of you here. Lose a few pounds, ok a lot, and get my Van running and on the road with at least a few of the mods done. I keep changing my mind on some of the mods and they just don't seem to get done like I want. I keep telling myself a little at a time not all at once. Doesn't seem to work though.
1989 RS Astro, V-8 and maybe a shift it myself tranny, still deciding on this one. Dutch doors, Cad tail lights, shaving the rest now. 12 bolt rear end was in the van when I got it but changing how it sets to lower.

1.) Spend more time with the kids/grandkids
2.) Lose as much weight as my Guiness habit will let me
3.) Put a new tranny in the astro so I can actuall drive it without worrying
4.) Re-organize the shops so i can really see what I have to do!
