    Finaly back on the road (mostly).
    Tuned Port Injected engine, 700R4, PS, 4 wheel PDB.
    easy conversion, only took 3 years and over $7000 in cash. Thats actually cheep cuz I do everything myself.
    Just a few more wrinkles to iron out before I trust it to a road trip. Then interior and sound system. If all works out well over the next couple years it will get a rotisery paint and body job.

    I made a little before and after slide show.

    So does your van get any visitors,,,,,you know,,,,,other vans from the area. Do any of your neighbors to the East come over? There is just something about seeing 2 or more Earlys together that brings smiles to everyones faces,,,,,

    Thats interesting you would ask Don. I have tryed to hook up with a few people in this area, some of whom are on this site and or the VCVC map, but no responce to my emails or even notes left on thier vans.

    I guess I will just have to come to visit you guys before my van develops personality complex.
    LOL

    It's our responsibility to cruise our Earlys out in the World to provide them with a few moments of relief from what is going on and happening around them. That picture sure makes me smile,,,,,,
