    I wish! Can't afford that right now. Just gotta get the current ones working? You ever scrape up that $300 yet? LOL.

    NDJ I love the sunroof, It would also solve a few dents I have in the roof. Where and how much. Your van looks great and I can't wait to be at that point with my van.
    Keep up the good work and the pics. ~ GK.

    One of my rims was too rusted on the seal edge to hold air . So, I bought some new 8" rally wheels & tires for the back. I also bought and converted an Astro or Safari van spare tire mount to hold my (now) spare rally wheel.
