Sooo as you know my heart lays with v8 power... Welll I seen a add on craigslist that caught my eye, so I emailed him, an he sent me hiis number , an I went out to the guys place an checked ot out... Needless to say its now in my driveway!!! ( Yes I still have my mazda daily driver). Butttttt. I traded my lt250r for it, which sucks in a way but. I don't get to ride much in the summer so ill save up an buy something this fall..... .. After I tell you guy what I got for it sone of you will be like wtf why? An some of you ( brando for sure). Will have a semi wood lol.



Ready?????




1990 chevy astro van, satalite conversion, which means its tthe luxury conversion with the soft seats an lights an all that happy crap inside, ..

Now the fun part... Chevy 350 roller rockers, cam, edelbrock intake an carb, long tube headers, aluminum underdrive pullies, th350 trans, shift kit, b&m ratchet shifter, stock rear end, polished aluminum wheels, with little tires up front an fat tires on the back .. I think the motor was a old dirt track motor but not sure, runs like it though, don't start pullin hard tell about 4k rpms...

Body wise its clean but needs paint,, I'm gonna smooth out where the paint it peeling an lay satin black on it an maybe flames dunno yet.

Just wondering if anyone has watched ultimate car build off, its a new series on discovery, the first show they did they had to build super cars out of a astro van, the one team kinda made it look like a lambo and named it the astrogini

Gonna work on sanding it an smoothin it out this week, gonna try to have it satin black before friday.... I can still haul sh*t with it to!!!!! Hiden hitch that is flush with the rear bumper, trailer wirin an set up for trailer brakes
 
I used to work at a farmers market , my job description was work everyday until you collapse and start all over again . I loved my " runnin around " van I used for picking up stuff , meeting growers who couldn't get to us etc etc etc. It was a gutted ford econoline with a fuel infected 390 and had 2!!! gas tanks , I roasted many many ricers with that van.......
 
brando approves


he also says flat black, bright green scallops (we all know how you like your monster) and then bright green steelies. it'd be awesome lol.

soooooooooooooooooo when do we get to see this beast running low 14's in the quarter? (my semi-professional estimate lol)
