What year of van side markers are these from?

I think they stopped making them in 96, so 80s or 90s.

Great thread!

I used some extra pieces of oak laminate flooring and made new interior door panels. It took a little grinding on the backside to mesh well with the door/window handles and the arm rest, but it worked. I then had to buy chrome pinch molding (around $10) to go around the outside edge of the laminate so it blends with the door. It came out pretty sharp.... sorry I don't have pics right now.

Budget coolant recovery tank. Not sure of the total cost but I think the beer was the most expensive part and it went to other uses and therefore doesn't count.

I know its forbidden by law to temper with money, but since I am on the other side of the Ocean, I though, what the heck! hahaha

Re: Post your best budget mods! ($50 or less)
 

Hey kikkegek, I need that. Shoot me a price.

Re: Post your best budget mods! ($50 or less)
 

Its ok, unlike our federal gov. you probably earned it, you actually put the money to good use, and you didnt spend $5 to make a 50 cent. item. congress should take lessons from you... but they wont!
