My Van is a 1997 2WD Astro Cargo Van.

My van was a victim of the Cash for Clunkers program. It was a real clunker when taken in. I Tore apart most of the interior to get my speakers and my computer stuff out. The van is now gone, but it will not be forgotten.

The van has always been garage parked and well taken care of since new. It has been pampered its entire life even though it was driven a lot.

My Van has 35% tint on the front and limo on the rear windows. Tint was professionally installed by Eclipse Window Tinting. I wish I could do as good of a job installing tint as they can/

Lots of work going into this van, check my individual pages to see what I am working on in the different areas.

Here are some pictures of the van's exterior.

Under the hood, it is pretty much stock. I'm running all synthetics now. Battery is a little bigger than stock. K&N drop in air filter.

I replaced the differential with 3.42 gears.
