4-5 days it will be out of the paint booth and after the parts get bolted back on it. I painted just the top half since it was just faded is all. It need no body work to speak of, since i only painted from the top of the tan up it still retains 50% original paint on it. This is the nicest 4x4 idi van in the country hands down. It will go on ebay if it doesn't sell locally within a couple weeks or on here.

It is the one in my avatar, now sprots factory alcoas with 32's on it. 4.10 gears 4x4 front, coil over not leaf, rides like a dream. Interior still looks brand new, tires are 40% tread. Gearvendor overdrive with auto control so it shift through like an OD trans, US Gear ehaust brake, bad ass, works perfectly. Banks turbo, full gauges. Back seat folds to be a bed, and a big one that actually sleeps two comfortably. Interior tan, back seat blue. I have the original non folding back seat in my garage. It's a no compromises vehicle, return lines recently done. Since it is the wises driver, meticulously maintained since new, some spare parts in box that go with it like hoses, maybe belts, I forget will need to look.

No rust on it, always in Cali so super clean all around. Owned by a high tech lab rat since new till only about 2 years ago maybe when I got it. The wife drives an R model Volvo wagon now, she wanted sporty not roomy, oh well such is life. Nope not cheap at all, and it will sell without issue I am sure. You get what you pay for though, and this 4x4 van is the closest to new as it gets and is optioned out well. Only one thing I have not looked into is the a/c, it is dual zone front/back fans and all works fine, pump doesn't kick on. Yes it is flat on gas I am sure, I have not had a need to recharge it, but may do so depending on my mood, and depending on who the buyer is. I don't use 134a in my R12 systems, I use another alternative. if you want 134a then i will not be doing it, if you want what i use, but you can't get then i will charge it. I will fix small easy leaks, but I am not tearing off the interior panels if you know what I mean. it is a premium van, real cool all around, and you will not find another like it. Gets 15.5 easy, and can get better if you drive slower. I have not burned oil in this one, only diesel. Seats seven as of now, but could be configured for more, I don't need more then 7 seven though. If you have more people then that, put them on the floor lol. I wanting 11.5k for it. A new one will cost you over 50k, and mine is way more reliable then a 6.0. Pm me for questions. No additional pics till out of paint booth, staying same color of course.

Sweet mother of Pearl. I can't believe it. I figured with your love affair with the IDI that thing was going to follow you for the rest of your days.

Even if I could right now, I would not feel right bringing that beautiful barn sized piece of Americana to MN to suffer the iron oxide monster. I'm even in the market for a dd.

Damn temptation rears it's ugly head again. Good luck with the sale. I hope it goes to another worthy owner...I'm also sorry for your loss.

Thanks, no big deal on the loss really there is always more out there. There will not be one as nice as this one, but always more. I just want to get some vehicles out of my driveway is all, about 7 of them actually. 2 down, 7 to go.....

I would love that van..... not in the card right now. I would reduce my fleet also, if I could afford it. I have always liked the 4x4 vans that I have seen, something different, and "practical" for a large family like mine. That is one reason I bought the Ex..... great "family car"

Now has fresh paint on the top 50% of the van. PM for pics. Bottom half is very nice original, top half had sun fading on it, not looks like a new van as it should.
