Thats the plan, the "chrome" rims are pretty rough as they have just been sitting for a few years lol
Then when i remove the wrap im gonna paint it a flat black, and maybe tint some of the lenses, not sure yet.
Maybe take the door panels to do some fiberglass work on? Just so like if you mess up you have spares so you don't have to go searching around in junkyards and stuff...
Oh yeah thats a great idea! i'll do that as well!
Bump for more ideas, picking the vans up tomorrow!!
I thought about this but I don't have the knowledge, or tools to take the motor out. And I don't have the space to store it. Maybe I can sell it tho...
Also I'm not too sure I'll put a huge system in here. I think it might serve a more functional purpose!
I want the offload look. So I wanna raise it 3 or more inches.
Great news today. The guy giving me the van is my boss. He has 2 identical as you can kinda see in the pics. Te second one has a tranny that is useless. So he's letting me strip the second one to get any and all parts that I can!
What should I get? I'm taking the wheels. Maybe the alt. all the beat. Maybe seats. What else?
Well honestly get the biggest one you can afford, and for $800 thats easily do-able to get one that meets your needs
Look at mechman, DC power, Singer alternators
well that looks pretty sick but i think I'm gonna stick with the flat black.
looks like i'll be looking into raising it a few inches and getting some fat ass tires for it.
no curtains, just tint lol
i'll already have a pedo bear sticker i don't wanna make it too obvious lol
only think I'm worried about is the exhaust won't be too loud cuz its a straight 6 motor...
battering ram is a definite must
Yeah that's what I'm talking about! Lol
Big ass pedo sticker for sure.
It's already got some rims and pretty good tires but I'll see what I can do. How big of a lift??
Do they have a battering ram for this car like the cop cars? Lol
Well budget is going to be an ongoing thing as it will be my side project.
I was actually looking more for the exterior first. Whether I can get a new grill. Raise it? Lower it? Paint colors?
I was thinking about it more and maybe I'd wanna make this my "survival" vehicle. Of course audio will be taken care of as well...
Sup guys. Looking for realistic opinions here. I know it would be great to put in 40 12" mayhems on 20 NS-1's. But I can't afford that lol.
I want overall ideas on what can be done to this thing. It's a Ford Econoline. I'm getting it for free99. Mechanically it's 100% I just need to replace a single bushing and get it registered! Im gonna remove the wrap but what else can be done to make this the best looking van out there lol
I know it's shitty pics. Ill get better on Saturday when I pick it up.
