    Re: Stolen Silver turbo mini van HELP FIND IT!!!

    from owner........
    My van that I have worked on for the last 2 years was stolen from my driveway.

    It is Washington license # ASN5152. I put so much work into this van, it is very personal to me.
    It has "Turbo" decals on sides and back. It has matching gray "Snowflake" mag wheels. It has been reported to the Vancouver police. Call me, and if I recover it intact I will gladly give you $300 cash.
    Thanks, Jack

    No photos, but we all know what a turbo mini looks like, unless has some distinguishing features

    WOW!
    He just found it only about a mile from his house.
    Abandoned with a bent front left fender and a crushed in hatch and a broken right window.
    But all fixable.

    They don't know who took it, hard to find if you don't know.
    But the good news is, yes the insurance is fixing it.
    He is looking around for parts this week.

    all the head lights and corners are on amazon cheap.
    rock auto has the headlight "board"
    there are still nice grills on ebay.
    and tail lights on ebay and amazon.

    the corner bumper caps might be kinda tough.
    the glass is a junkyard pull. literally.. unbolt the pop out knob and PULL the glass. comes right out.

    the hatch looks repairable? not sure.

    I just talked to the owner of the van. H just bought (real cheap) a grey v6 van with a bad tranny.
    Perfect to part out for parts for his van...every thing he needs!
