Bumper-ettes and Mirror supports off to Electroplaters.

yes and it was a cracked plug runs nice but blows smoke so hopefully in the next couple of weeks i will pull the heads off and investigate more . i am determined to be driving it this summer

Glad you got it sorted, I noticed a page back that it sounded like you had it fixed. Good luck with the smoke problem

Fitted two new gas struts on upper tailgate. Soaked and greased front door locking mechanisms. Welded in center console brackets. Trimmed front floor. Now time to collapse in the fetal position.

Steam cleaned under van yesterday. Today I sprayed underbody deadner from bumper to bumper, painted fuel tank, diff, front chassis rails and all wheel arches. Next are rear springs then start putting everything back in
