The BAD AST Project - Faze II

[astroracer]

Hey Andre, yea it feels good to be getting something done, even if it is just tear-up stuff! If you want to do some photo shop stuff I took a few pics last night with the tires and wheels set in place. I did a two pic shot of the side of the van to keep the rims in perspective. If you want to merge them into one file give it a shot. I plan to do it when I get some time.


Have fun...

Here is a pic of the interior after I got all of the plastic and carpet pulled out.

And here is one after I had both wheel wells and part of the floor removed.

I had a tough time starting the cuts... It seemed such a shame to cut it up. I was amazed at how clean this thing was. Even the bottom side is clean! I have never had the opportunity to work on a vehicle that was as rust free as this one is... Usually I am cutting out RUSTY parts... It really is a pleasure to work on something like this and not raise a cloud of dust.

these vans seem to resist rust, I was surprised too about my '94 safari. I had the door apart yesterday to replace the handle, and it was CLEAN inside, like new.
your van is going to be EXCELLENT. I'll have to post the link to a astro project at www.astrosafari.com, some dude was putting a big block right in the middle of his van. chopped the top too. good for a diversion, I'll have to find it.
oops! just went over there and saw you are on there as well, maybe you know which van I'm talking about?
