!!!Pictures!!!

I was heading to the van to take some pictures for a friend so I took some extra snaps of the model. I originally wired a green light in there with it but never got the picture for it after dark....so here it is.

and another..........

Here's a shot of the back doors...mind the skis. I may put more woodtrim half way up the doors.

A while ago, my ignition switch quit. I had all my power but no crank. The switch itself is on the top of the steering column.......*sigh*.......that's not an easy spot to get to. I read my manual and started to go for it but then decided against it and to go with plan b. Plan B worked great. I wired a push button ignition, (looks the same as the horn button), straight to the starter, bypassing the ignition switch. All the safety is still there as you must insert the key in to the key ignition and thurn it to 'run' and this also unlocks the colums.....then push the button which cranks. I'm thrilled about it because once again...this is old school, (push button start on dash), meets new school, (steering column lock/anti-theft).

I also re-located the 12 volt cig. lighter as it was taken out with the engine hub cover piece. It's now placed just further down from the starting button.

Here's a picture.........

Here are the new green lights I put last weekend............

They add a nice mood in combination with the dome light.

And here are the LED parking lights...they look much brighter in this picture....

I can't wait for the new headlights and front end!!!!!!!!!

~~

Here are my new tail light covers, freshly won off ebay......been looking for these babies for a while ;) Never thought I'd score them so cheap, ($17!!!!!!!)(yes!!!)

~~

And here is my still kind of new keychain, also from ebay....$5 It's actually a dinky car, probably from the dollar store, with a screw i hook in the back but it's a full circle instead of a hook...I guess a 'loop'. That's a good idea.......someone I know should do this and sell them on his website with his URL on the side of the van ;)

And finally, here's the van in full on winter mode....even though most of the snow is melted away, boo......If it's going to be winter and I can't do body work...at least let it snow so I can cross country ski and enjoy it.....*sigh*

Winter mode = winter tires and rims, 12 volt heater (only comes out for winter), dirty, dirty sides....just can't keep it clean in the winter...but hey, at least she's undercoated.

That's it for this instalment.....Keep it real

*cue the phat music*
