    Just a quick hi from the UK.

    Bought a Cali import A100...just getting some tweaking on the V8 before the MOT.

    Anyone got any of the badges/emblems they'd like to sell? Mine is kinda bare without them!

    Welcome to VV 1-star. When you can, post up some pics of your van. We love pics in here. From your avatar pic, your van looks nice and clean.

    Will do, it looks clean from that distance! Rust free though, a good start for the UK.

    Nothing wrong with that at all. Your van looks to be in great shape. What plans do you have for the old girl?

    Few bits need doing with the engine, wiring was left resting on one of the manifolds (headers) Edelbrock carb didn't fit properly so apparently I've got to get a different manifold for it, oil spurting out the dipstick as it was leaking (new one ordered)...This is all from my engine guy by the way.

    My plans are: Cragar SS rims, arse in the air and plenty of white fur!

    Welcome to VV from another Brit!!! Did you get that van off Steve??

    Keep us updated with pix as you progress making it 'yours'. I'm currently red-oing the interior on mine so that I can take the family out in it.

    Hi fella, yeah I know (of) Steve, I bought my old 66 air-bagged Chevy pick up off him which I sold to buy my A108 van (in my avatar). I also Know Rob that you have 'borrowed' the Keystone rims from. Maybe i'll see you about at some show or something.

    Im LOVING the stance of yours with those rims on, Rob told me that you guys have fitted 2" lifting blocks.
