So, I thought it was about time to put a log of my Minivan project.
I bought this from Jason Hagger last spring with the intention of making it a daily driver (with no car payment!).
Here are the pics of it as it sat in Jason's yard. I pretty much bought it by the pics, since it's a 2+ hour drive over to get it. Unless it was rotted to hell, it was coming home with me. For a van originally sold in Maine, it's actually really clean underneath. The only rust is on the front of the RH rear fender lip.
The van is really for me to drive to work, but I will occasionally need to transport at least 2 of my 3 kids. The van had no rear seats at all in it from Jason. But, a quick Craigslist search turned up a 3rd row bench from a '91 Voyager for $10. It made for a real long return trip home, but I stopped and picked up the bench after picking up the van. The upholstrey isn't a match, but at least it's maroon, too.
