25,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and let me guess you paid $3,000 for the van chris? lol
yeh dont pay someone to do it!

but now i have a v8 van im not going back to the 6! im getting just as good fuel econ and a lot more power! and a lot more sound out the exhaust!

now ive played with V8's they are the way to go.

i recon i could get vans engineered for $600.. i know what the engineer wants now, pretty cool.

me, I got lucky, $2300 for the tow van, reco 253, 4 speed, disc front, engineers report  LPG, 9" and wheels off the camper, spent another $400 so far and can spend another $1000 easily (flash wheels and rebuild a diff) which I won't. Be patient have the cash ready and strike when a good van becomes available, most I've paid for a beddie is $3000 (327 chev, turbo 400 & 9", custom body work) there are bargains but it is becoming harder with lots of buyers watching Ebay and the like, twas much easier when beddies were sold word of mouth, keep your eyes and ears open and be prepared to travel at short notice swoop.  ;)

No, it was a V8.
The van sold into Sydney for $5000, was repainted canary yellow, and used as a work truck.
The problem I have is that most of my stories end with... and that is why I am not allowed to go back there!
