Hello everyone. I got the title today for my van, so now that it's officially mine (woop!) I'm starting a thread for it. tomorrow i'm doing ttl, then inspection and registration next. Everything looks decent on it, it's a 1995 van so yea haha I wasn't expecting everything to be perfect. The major parts are in good shape, there's just some little b.s. stuff I need to work on. The main mechanical issue is the steering. Pretty much all the bushings appear to need replacement, but the one that's causing the slack in the steering is on the pitman arm. bummer! that one looks hard to get to. If it was the tie rods, i was going to do it myself but i will probably take it to a shop. I don't have the tools yet to lift and work on such a large vehicle (5k lb). I don't even have a torque wrench, haha. Also i have to figure out why the reverse lights don't work. I hope it's the bulbs because i already looked at the fuse and it's not burned out x.x
After that, I will probably start by making the outside look better. polish the paint and paint the roof white. clean up everything so it isn't such an eyesore haha. I've been working on peeling some of the decals off. I need to look into some kind of adhesive remover! Or find an OCD friend who enjoys peeling things heheh
This is my first truck i've ever owned. I'm so proud that I bought it myself and now it's mine! haha. I feel like a real adult almost
Anyway here he is I'll be doing text and video updates.
