Re: my pimped astro

the paint scheme seems a bit outdated but it has a lot of time and effort put in it i see. did you do the mods yourself, or did you purchase it as is? it looks vauquely familiar to me.

Re: Light bar for front bumper to mount fog or driving lights.

i dont personnally see the need for fog lights, and dont really like the off road jeep style look some go for, but i gotta admit i expected this to look pretty gaudy for what you chose to use, but if thats the style your into it definitely looks nice. i would have never been able to guess that was a...

Re: DRL shutoff trick

Re: Doors for 1996 fit older van?

i believe they are structurally the same, but gm has changed the hinge locations slightly over the years so it may require a little welding to make work.

Re: Pics of my 1997 Astro

i kinda like the chopped rear bumper, far more functional than my roll pan but still very fashionable! paint job looks nice, very simple but a little bit of flare yet, the front bumper however still appears to be the stock one unlike what you listed in your mods.

Re: how my stro looks know

im more interested in the rear roll pan, you make that from scratch? ive never seen one like that for sale, kinda looks like you used the front valence from a first gen astro like yours, is that correct? whatever you di i really like it, get some ss mirrors and i think it would be complete.

looks good, its funny seeing that though, shorty with new front end just doesn't look right, i mean it does but you know what i mean.

what do you do if you need to change out your rear end, this may be a stupid question but ive never seen a dif welded shut like that before, would definitely have its advantages but seeing i just had to have my rear posi carrier and spider gears and everything replaced it scares me a bit.

be cautious, my friends dad took all the finish off his alloys from his 95 chevy silverado and polished them, they looked 100 times better at first but after awhile they began to corode and looked terrible.
