Bought another Van!

I thought I was done with vans. I sold the last van I built and was done, then the other morning I was contemplating selling the trusty old Civic, and was browsing on Craigslist and , there it was my next van! It was a 1993 Ford E150 conversion van, original owner in excellent condition garaged since day 1.
So I called and it was still available. I immediately posted the Civic for sale and had it sold within 4 hours, took the money and went and purchased the van. Paid $2500 with all service records, and the paint and interior are like brand new!! And you know how most of these vans are treated. Immediately after purchasing went and had rims and tires installed, exhaust and new cd player and speakers.
Will post pics tomorrow, and plans for this van.

Re: Bought another Van!

Thank you for moving my post. I will hopefully start tearing the interior out this week to insulate and start building the rear platform for a bed and my work tools! Then planning on a few cabinets and some rear power!!

Re: Bought another Van!

Alright, I must admit I had already started building my van out a few weeks ago and just have had no time to take pics and download them, so here they are. Here is the van first, I already bought wheels and tires.


And here is the back so far, I removed the rear bench and built a platform with drawers. I use this vehicle for work also, so the drawers hold all my tools and I can keep them in there out of the way when we camp. It has 3 hidden compartments to hold camping equipment full time, and I will be adding some cabinets to the drivers side behind the passenger seat.
