Van build update: Engine work begins.

Finished all the available course videos (14+ hrs). I plan to swap the motor and transmission with crate/new models. Until then, I'm going to pull this one, fix it, and put it back together so I can handle most maintenance and repairs on the road.

Until I bought the course, I knew very little about cars. Now, I feel confident that I can rebuild one. Highly recommend (check it out below). Wish me luck.

Under the hood:
Some of this stuff—like the new radiator—isn't even bolted down. This is what you get when you buy a '97 step van for $2,200. It's got great bones (GMC with a P32 chassis), and it's a perfect restoration project. I will have learned much by the time I finish.


In the cab:
Pulled the carpet and floor liner when I removed the steel cargo gate. There's a rusted out spot that needs fixing on the passenger side floorboard, but I'll get to that later when I swap the seats.


The course:
Just bought this course. $25 early bird special.
