	Bit the bullet and bought this last week for many sensible reasons that tipped the balance meaning at the moment I'm not worrying about its v8 thirstiness #Its really is much bigger than a vw #for the money I paid I was looking at old builders t4 vans #It sounds very nice #its very tacky in a way that only the USA can do #had 88 cars but this is the first yank # As I'm still on a weld aton with Capri I need something that is not a project in a major sense of the word. #I like something abit different

	That's superb, in a superbly American tacky sense as you mentioned ;D I assume it's got the small block windsor V8 in it?

	Sorry bout the lack of progress report have mainly been trying to learn how to drive it despite driving a Transit all day this thing is big on the narrow roads round where I live. Other than that its had a service by my friend Andrew who is a top mechanic and likes a bit of USA tin. Sorted out the rust on the roof gutter so it gets no worse over winter. Given it a good clean with leather feed and lots pf Pledge for all the wood. Plans now are just to wait till next year and enjoy though if it snows I'm testing out those snow tyre and 3 tonnes of rwdness would like to get the wheels polished up sort myself a telly for the back Long term I would Like to explore the whole Custom van scene fake fur and all,though will have to finish the Capri first.

	I have quite a hankering for one of these for the reasons you've mentioned. I think i'd remove the arches and skirts though. Make it more van like.

	Lost my mojo with the capri so decided to remodel this after becoming bored with the miles of pinstripe sticker removal was a pain as not good with sharp things cost of fitting included in cost of custom stickers so no stress or hassle for me Know its abit marmite but wanted a cheap and bold update

	I love marmite! Also love the van! Pan am theme works very well. I've been looking at day vans a lot recently.
