Brought home my 3rd Tubo van

[Rrider]

I like the tires. Mounting curbs to get around traffic jams is great fun. Even more fun when peeps in the fancy pseudo-SUV's with lo pro tires are the ones you're passing.

[Sgt Craig]

Tomorrow Im going to a import car meet by me in the afternoon.It should be very amusing.

[Sgt Craig]

Installed the snow tires monday after work,which im really glad I did.Roads were a sheet of ice Tuesday morning on my way to work.Might pull them back off since itll be in the 60's today and tomorrow.Have to back flush the heater core abd fix some little things that are bugging me.

[Sgt Craig]

Back flushed the heater core and fixed the heater control.Had a Vaccum line routed wrong so it wasn't letting it work properly.So now it has heat.Ordering up some Daytona struts and springs this week and need a free weekend to get them,the rack and new control arm bushings on.

[Sgt Craig]

This is how I started my Bday.Hit and run.A Scion Tc tried to occupy the same lane as me.Door also has damage.She took off,I called 911 imediately and followed her until they got the info they needed.Filed a police report so im waiting to hear back from them.It doesnt piss me off so much the van is damaged,It pisses me off she ran.Thankfully I wasnt in my truck or I might be in jail.On a good note the daytona struts and springs are ordered and I have a s-10 air deflector coming.

Make her pay.
I'm sure her insurance company isn't going to like what she did much ( if she has insurance)

Officer called me Friday Morning.They found her.She denies everything.Officer knows she lying cause she admitted I was following her but says she didnt hit me.She could be going to jail if she keeps pissing off the officer.

[wheming]

She sounds like a real winner.
Nothing pisses off a cop like being lied to...

[Sgt Craig]

Installed the new struts yesterday.Rides so much nicer now and lower.Will wait for awhile to put on airdeflector.mother nature isnt cooperating.

[wheming]

Need new pics then...

[Sgt Craig]

Need new pics then...

Ill get some once weather warms up.I need to get some pics of that intake for you too.

[Sgt Craig]

New pic with the daytona struts and springs.New rack,control arm bushings going in this weekend.Had enough time before it got dark to clean and wax it.

[2.216VTurbo]

Man, that thing is in the weeds! Now de-arch the rear leafs

[Sgt Craig]

Some updates,Fuel rail finally showed up that will be going on soon.Ordered up some new headlight lenses.Polishing wasnt going to help them.Most of the reflective material has fallen off and lf adjuster is broken.Washed it yesterday and cleaned out the interior.Is it spring yet?This winter has really sucked.

[SL#189]

Giving me ideas for my recently acquired '89 (Might be the 2nd nicest interior-wise). Love this build!

[Sgt Craig]

Installed the new headlight lense yesterday.Looks a hell of alot better now.Ill have to get some new trim pieces as they now look really bad with new headlight lenses.

[Sgt Craig]

Trans took a dump,what exactly what went wrong wont know until I get it out and apart.Wont move very well in D or R,slips badly fluid level is fine.Picking up a stock trans tomorrow night and swap it out at work this weekend.Right now im stuck in hell driving my Boss' 94 Taurus.It really isnt a bad car,only has 52k on it and is fully loaded.Nice plush Pleather seats which suck really bad in this cold weather.

[Sgt Craig]

Dropped the pan and valve body on trans.Removed the govenor and fount the pistons sticking.polished them up a bit and its working great now.Thankfully didnt have to put the spare trans in.

[Sgt Craig]

Trans still wont upshift and down shift properly.Most likely has a problem in the valve body.Ordered up a manual valve body yesterday.If that doesnt fix it Ill have to put the spare trans in.Did I ever mention I hate auto's.I wish I would have kept the 5spd stuff from my 90.This weather has really sucked.I have alot of little stuff i want to do but its too freakin cold out to do it.Trying to buy another subbie outback too,98 fully loaded no rust,its as clean as the van.Needs headgaskets.

[Sgt Craig]

Havent really done anything to it lately other than drive it.Trans seems to be shifting ok so far.RMVB is on back order from jegs.Did order fuel pump finally for the truck so I can get it back on the road and put some miles on it this year.Once its fixed ill start fixing the van and get it ready for PRP to open.
