O.k. so I found this "van" for $200.00 and my first baby was on its way and we figured we could use more room. It had a blown tranz but was completely rust free as it came frome georgia so I figured what the hell I'll throw a tranz in it and it will be a good "daily driver" ,you already know what happened.
The new auto trans worked for about as long as the engine did and I now had a "van" that was dead. So I picked up a 93 shadow that had a good 3.0 and 5 spd stick with a new clutch for $300.00(now I've gone and done it) It seemed like a good idea, I mean sticks last forever and the ol' lady hates automatics,so the kids will have a dependable van and the woman will be happy, right? Well as soon as I converted it to a stick it became very quick, like quick to the point where bad wheel hop was starting to worry me so the only solution I could come up with was to drop and tighten the suspension.(mental problems real apparent now eh?).So now it was quick and lowered, so here comes the paint and system and wheels AND AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!.

Well heres to good intentions and "daily drivers". help?!? .

here's the interior and the engine bay

here's the paint , I will put more pics on if you really want to see them, it has the shadow rear coil suspension and I strut tower dropped it and raised the engine so I dont get halfshaft binding as well as new rims and the system. It also has an exhaust .If you truly want to see or know more let me know,if not just sit back and laugh or whatever. please rate though . thanx

I had to laugh! What WERE you thinking?? A Caravan?? You must have a lot of time and energy. Perhaps modding minivans is cheaper than I psychiatrist. At least you know you have a sickness. Which puts you head and tails above most people... Thanks for the laughs. I have a '96 Caravan 3.0 3 speed auto with 253k miles (rebuilt transmission) original engine.

HEy nice van. After seeing the turbo 5 speed caravan I've been thinking about getting one and doing a 5 speed swap into it. How hard is it? Is it like a bolt in or what?
