Grelko Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Posted August 29, 2011 Hand sanded most of the interior that isn't covered by wood "because the cordless drill works for about 15 minutes...", 90% of the passanger door inside and out since I couldn't find the tool to take off the window crank/door handle, most of the sliding door and scraped off about 10ft worth of those tiny blue pin stripes that goes around the entire van. Will be starting to add black primer in a couple days, until then I'll be doing around 5-6 hours per day of sanding/patching Optimus XL-400w amp 2x 10s IMPP 400w 2x something or other in dash 2x 35w radioshack 8" full-range AcDelco factory radio "frankenstein'd from my dead buick" Dodge seats 1984 Chevy G30 full size 1-ton van "Rust Monster" Progress - around 15% primer/patching Sold the van in 2014, had it about 75% done, never did get the system in it.

tonedeaf Posted August 30, 2011 Report Posted August 30, 2011 So im assuming this is your DD? Could be a damn house how big that thing is. Digging the couch though.
Grelko Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Posted August 30, 2011 Only vehicle I have, used to have an 87 buick century but its a cube at the scrapyard now. Had the van about 7 years so far, the one bad thing I actually have to say about it is the 45 gallon tank lol, close to $180 to fill it. Got my old skateboard in the back incase I break down, been thinkin of just getting one of those street legal mini scooters and keeping it in the van or, just using that for short trips to the store. That couch is DAMN comfy, it's been in the van about 5 years.

monkeyleg Posted August 30, 2011 Report Posted August 30, 2011 This build is awesome, very different. Liking all the wood, you have some cutting skills. I'd love to work on a van. Tuned in Google it
Grelko Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Posted August 30, 2011 Thanks , I was thinking of putting carpet over alot of the wood, but keeping some and adding stain to it, not exactly sure what all I'm going to do yet, just getting new ideas as I go but I have alot figured out already.
