IZwack's tow rig buildup

[cybergasm]

So i take it u gave up on the bus cum tow vehicle idea?

 

[Savage Wolf]

Its your fault I have this van!! Now get to work! I need the electric locks put in before paint.

those arent that hard to do : only installed that crap for little over a year in a shop

Yeah - the bus was going to be a bit more trouble.

Good choice on the paint scheme.

What brand of alarm were you considering?

I just bought it from E-bay. The seller had very good feedback with his alarm so I said why not.

Will do. I'm might attempt the install today - if not, then tomorrow.

LOL dont worry, it wasnt from that guy from Florida -- I read that thread and was scared too
But mine has already arrived and I checked to ensure everything was there.

 

[cgriffin_5139]

Well good i still haven't got mine yet, so i am just writing the guy off and do need a new one.

 

[IZwack]

Well here's the guy's Ebay store front:

With slightly over two and a half thousand transactions on Ebay, he has a 99.8% positive feedback.

 

[cgriffin_5139]

hey thanks man the van looks good

 

[Savage Wolf]

that van doesnt have power locks already does it?
also those alarms off that egay seller dont look too bad, but I dont know if I would use the remotestarter from there, no external relay packs = bad imo

 

[IZwack]

that van doesnt have power locks already does it?

No the van doesnt have power locks already -- but the E-bay kit came with 4 actuators. I just have to put a lock/unlock button somewhere between the driver and passenger.

Today was just more body work and extended the rear bumper with some tubes so that a person can actually use it as a step. Also power washed it and scrubbed the entire body with a green Brillo pad and a mix of water, laundry detergent, and Comet. It removed most of the grime and decaying whatever that was on the body and roof - the previous owner used to park the van under a tree so there was a lot of fungus or whatever the heck that was.

Theres about 2 more hours left of body work - then its paint time on Friday.

Almost looks like a modern day mystery machine from scooby doo:

Nah, should turn out nice after you're done with it

 

[Stic-o]

3 things...

1. You missed the bar tabs over the rear windows.
2. Find a factory mirror dor the passanger side...Pleeeeease!
3. Loose the front hub caps.

That is all

Looks better already. That should make a mean towing machine.
