how often should I drive during conversion?

[NickTheoBennett]

Hi all.&nbsp; I have a 94 Chevy van that I am converting, and during this process I am not driving it often.&nbsp; the wife and I also have a little 99 escort that gets roughly double the fuel economy of the van.&nbsp; <br><br>The question I have is how often should I drive the van to keep it from developing mechanical issues related to the fact that it is sitting?<br><br>

That must be a pretty serious conversion! No , seriously, if you start it every couple of weeks, and drive it once a month or so, it will go a long way towards keeping all the seals lubricated, all the fluids from settling and sticking, and the brake drums and rotors from rusting and pitting.
