Flowmastered87GL Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 hmmmm more or less just a high roof van. Looks like you will have to sand it all down to repaint it since that tiki paint is all flaking off :-\ too bad its not one of the dually ones... you would gain SO much interior space with one of those.

subaruguru Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) wont need to sand i started to spray it with the hose and the tiki stuff started to fall off its some kind of craft paint not latex but something els. yeah i was sad when it wasnt one of the wide body ones but its still huge inside i can put a bed coutch and small table and still walk around in it. and i can stand up inside it im 6ft6 so thats good. overall im very happy Edited September 14, 2009 by subaruguru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Are you going to paint it or leave it yellow. Looks like youve got some side mirrors to replace as well. Should be a great party wagon or tailgate bus. Or even a great tow rig as well. How does it run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruguru Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 yes it will be a camper/tailgate party/tow rig. It runns very very well even has duel exhaust sounds. Im gonna paint it flat black then probly have bill do some flames on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
