Re: The Shagpile is on Order Dance Boogie Wondervan!
Having seen the level you went to in the Mustang I think this will be looking really good in time for summer. I don't think van tax is confined to Mopar, I had the same issue when running my CF a few years back - too many people chasing the bits now. You'll have something really worthwhile at the end of it, though.

Best bit with Vans is you can fashion bits together its like for instance these were often supplied with no door cards the ones on it as home made but had it now so ill repeat history and make my ownmercrocker wrote: ↑Mon Jan 18, 2021 3:08 pm Having seen the level you went to in the Mustang I think this will be looking really good in time for summer.

Mechanical stuff is pretty cheap its just light lenses,trim that sort of thing oh yeah the wiper switch is a bit eye watering I think that's why it is missing?
At first I thought somebody had nicked the sunvisors and mirror but now realise that there's a good chance it had an overhead console and somebody nicked that with the visors and mirrors attached
Can figure out the wiring but wondering if i could ft a non Mopar switch to operate the wipers and washer pump,that said i have no washer bottle or pump either
The fitting out etc doesn't phase me its getting the little things right first the basics stop go steer lights etc.
Just being lazy at the moment as its freezing
By the way for all those playing along at home the Van was originally Black and Black it will be again as its Cheap
There may be some metal flake too

Yes the CWM Boogie Van is ace
There will be some gold in there somewhere
Thing is got to tidy it up a bit I wouldn't mind the Patina look it was my plan originally but the paint looked like it would buff in the sales pics but it wont
Thought it was Mold on it that would wash off but to be honest it turned out to be numerous paint jobs showing through from various blues to epoxy primer back to black.
The last owner from 86 was a painter and decorator I think it could possibly be household paint?
So Sanding it down to black making good the thin areas to start with to blow over Black then a single stage generic black paint will make the paint job cheap and a good base for Metal flake fun and frolics
I was originally thinking Metallic Green but for once me and Sam are OK with Black,it was Black so why the hell not

Household paint? what sort of lunatic would paint a car in that?
I once did a LR in Glidden (cheapo dulux trade make) gloss, it worked quite well.

Mopar tax...in Australia they have an abbreviation for a person of a certain ethnic background who owns a Valiant Charger they are restoring.
TAVO - Tight Arsed Valiant Owner
I'm not even Greek and I'm still looking for a Charger but I've dropped right into the mind set...
