I thought this was going to be about a turbo'd 2.5 QQ for me.

But great start so far for a build thread.

rs99 sorry to disappoint

Went to go see the original van and it was beyond rotten, found this instead. Has been sitting inside a barn for the last 2 years. Original owner went to Australia for vacation, found love and never came back. Parents got sick of the van sitting in the corner and decided to sell it.

Update pics, and some of the plans stuck, some removed, others added.

Overall its a great ride...just super slow. Took about 8 miles on the highway to reach 65, but very smooth and easy ride.

First camping trip is planned for early March, going to be a fun adventure.
