We may not have both oars in the water, but at least we're still paddling.

Luckily for all of you, I just found this place - and just in time...

Hey, just caught a Cod-glimpse on Tea Partay over at YouTube.

$76 now -- I think you could buy this thing and have beer money left over from your $250. Now getting it here from Montana is another story...

Its up to $204.76 now almost out of our budget.I have a line on a 1990 Dodge caravan,came in trade at our Toyota store.It's got over 192K miles but is very clean inside and out.I am going to run it through the shop tonight.We own it for a little over the $250 but I will have the Cod sweet talk them down.

That'll change once old fish lips sets foot in it. Make sure you bring a gallon or two of slime remover along.

Sounds like a good hot rod, Joe.
I'll put on my best sales man suit and tie and do a fake comb over
to work on them.
If it's too nice looking we'll have to crap it up a bit

[jwardell]

Those caravans can take a beating. A friend used to jump sand traps with it at the local golf course, even after it was t-boned.

Lucky has been found!
1995 Plymouth Voyager w/ all options. Buckets up front, capt. chairs in the second row. Third seat in the way back will come out to make room for beer cooler.
V6, good tires, bit of a smack and tap in the lifters but with
192,000 miles that's all right. Brakes are good, tires are good!
It sounds a bit too nice. There will have to be some controlled distressing...as in antiqueing to make Lucky more presentable.
Joe is thinking camouflage paint scheme... It'll compliment Lucky's british racing green.
Need to find the right glue to attach a couple hundred little rubber duckies to Lucky. Thinking JB Weld.

[GadgetGav]

JB Weld or one of the two part 3M glues that have the mixing nozzles. We used to use them at work. Get them from McMaster.
Post pictures of the transformation...!

[GBMINI]

Loan it out to Jason, Richard or Annette for a week, and send them hunting for animals - Richard statistically has the best chance

[GadgetGav]

haha! Then you'd have a hood ornament too..!

[jcsinnh]

Check the valve seats.....If they are not bad, make them so. I wanna see smoke.
Call the Gorilla Glue Master...he'll know.
Not camo.....3 outa 4 of you aren't rednecks.
Give it to RISD for a week, stand back.

[JR9907]

John the thing that amazed me about this van is not a bit of smoke at all.I drove the snot out of for about 3 miles and nothing.Now I know why I kept my 752 cassette tapes,it has a cassette player!! As an added bonus it has rear power vent windows,I'm sure we will get a lot of use out of those.

[Oldpaint]

Try PL premium for attaching stuff. The sales rep once told me thats what you use to glue someones tires to the road. Let me know if he was lying.
