Finally got pictures of my van and got to take her to the mechanic. I had to make an appointment and wait 10 days which was like waiting on Christmas for me. I miss her horribly now so I'm glad I get to keep looking at the pictures! Very Happy

The CV joint had to be replaced and I just got it so they are changing out all the fluids and giving a good look. Also, it is using way too much gas so they are going to figure out what that's all about.

It is a great time to go camping right now or ride bikes here. Of course anytime is a good time to do either!

right on, my van is the same paint job. I named mine Spud because it looks like a baked potato.

Nice looking van. At least you know you'll get it out soon and be able to use it! Just parked Scooby for the winter Sad

but I'll still get to work on it. If I haven't said it to you yet, WELCOME to Vanagonitis and YEP gals get it too Cool

Can't remember what was said in other thread but make sure your fuel lines are new. Can't tell by the outside. Have fun and don't forget to show pics here of the van participating Wink

You know its a good one when there are Dead stickers in the window!!

Thanks all!

@12vannwe, You know, I had to drive her 300 so miles to get her home and my friend that picked her up with me asked if I was going to take the Dead stickers off and I said, not until I get her home. She may not start if I take them off now. Ha! I am eventually going to take them off, not that I don't like the Dead but around these parts having a Dead sticker on your ride basically makes you a target and I don't want anymore heat that I know I will probably already get for having a hippie van in the Deep South!
