Hahaha! Funny!

Damn, I would love to pay GW's junkyard a visit Smile

That van ended up costing more in suspension upgrade than what it's worth Laughing Laughing

Wild. It looked like he actually bent something up front or blew a shock as it was sitting low up front afterwards. Good stuff.

What a cool dude hooking up his buddy Cool

I wonder if any mods were done to the engine.

BTW, that van looks sick with those rear tires. I would go that way (prerunner) if I didn't have my current syncro project
