Folks, the name is Raoul, 2 kids, married and living in beautifull Bonaire, left Holland 5 years ago. Now driving my third Ford, enjoying this forum cause talking to someone to buy my fouth Ford, an STA.
Previous Ford Connect, turned it to a mini RV, Explorer V8 Eddie and now the V6 XLT, in Holland mainly BMW.

This island counts 21K inhabitants so a lot of info, knowledge has to come from different places ;-).
If i succeed, wil buy the STA, i'll let you al know and place some pix. I need a truck for my watresports:p
No real mechanical background or something like that.

Greetings Raoul

Update; I did it! Rims not original, neither does it has his back up camera, small dents around but that's normal for this island life.
Some small things to do:
AC, only blows max, regulator or something
Brake caliper left
Trans flush.

I compare it to an iguana when i hit the trottle; it lifts and goes!!!

Enjoy!
