This is a very cool, straight, driving attention getting van!
Photobucket linkl with 100 plus pictures showing all angles, defects and blemishes, as well as underneath shots of front beam and rear tranny area etc. I know very little about dropping/slamming vans, this is the first lowered van I've ever driven, I drove my 4 year old son buckled in his car seat seatbelted up front the 1 mile to the baseball fields for his game today, and he loved it. a very cool ride, but not sure I want to go too fast in it just yet!
Starts right up, plenty of power, idles nicely, brakes nicely, steering is ok but turn radius is not like a regular van. a slight howl in tranny when clutch is pressed down all the way? No piopouts of gears though or other bad noises, just a slight quiet howl when pressed all the way down.
stock Radio works, ceiling spotlight works off of toggle, siren not working now, prior owner thinks its just a short/ground. This bus was even lower in the front, prior owner raised it a notch as well as put on some bigger tires. Smaller front tires included, drop it back down easily for an even lower ride!
Battery tray looks to be replaced, rust hole in front passenger floor, driver floor looks like a reinforcement panel placed underneath.
Nice rockers, corners, nose, roof etc.
I noticed in 1 pic that it looks like 2 holes on passenger floor area from underneath shot? I will take more pics tomorrow of this area.
Cool 3/4 length rack with large aluminum panels on the side for advertising???
Cool hitch set up in back w/ plugin and beetle light housing. Other cool accessories as seen in pics!
Dash piece is included, could use a better one?
Paint has been spray canned in areas, gives it a very nice look, they did a really sweet job making this bus look the way it does.
New headliner, new underseat front matts, needs new front seat covers.
Description is the best I can do for now, I'll add info as it comes up.
Front driver door sticks, keys for all the doors, aftermarket ignition in the proper place.
