A relationship with an old Chevy van is like being married to an ugly soulmate. While you dream every moment of having something more attractive, you just can't bear to part ways because of how much it really contributes to your life...... |
Awwweee That's soooo sweettt.....
Lotsa vehicles over 15 yrs. old will do ok with their current loving owner....
I remember doing a water pump on my '73 mustang 351 A/C it took me all day long, I removed more bolts and stuff.... Easily took twice as long, and twice as much stuff as taking the head off the wife's 91 accord.... And I took off the timing belt completely first.... I can't imagine how long it would take to do a water pump on a van.... yikes...
