    Hi Everyone,

    On Youtube I found this video of some guys fixing up a 2nd gen G-Van:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOdrV2qFO5w

    They have not made much progress (just like me haha) however it looks like they're starting with a pretty nice van and have a good plan.  Glad to see it.  

    Does anyone know what this is?  seen at about 5:15 into the video:

    One funny part is that he thinks those wheels are from a "60's or 70's Camaro".  

    I hope they get it fixed up and enjoy it.  

    What the hell is that linkage thing though?? Anyone know?

    LOL....the guy in the video said his buddy's van is in "really rough shape".

    I wish my van would have been in that bad shape when I got it!

    It would have been done by now! (...or as "done" as any driver project ever is.)
