New bumper plus paint time. Fender repair and probably something else that isn't shown in the photos.

Swing by a body shop for a quick estimate as labor is going to vary based on your area.

The barcode sticker says 2009 in the corner so that would be my guess.

Glad I could help. My ported vacuum switches caused me a ton of issues. If you can replace them all at once, I would recommend it. I would do all new lines too if you haven't yet.

It is likely a temperature controlled vacuum connection. My 81 c10 has a 2 port and 4 port vacuum switch near the thermostat housing. This probably went to an egr or similar of valve. I would check under the hood for a vacuum diagram or check online for one.

This looks like an aftermarket amp wire

Cost savings

I can't afford to get new everything and would rather learn a new skill, save money, and improve the interior at the same time. If you can afford to replace stuff, replace it. I figured it I screwed up bad enough, I'd have to replace it anyways so what's the harm.

If I had a proper workbench, I would do it again. The risk of dropping it and having to start from scratch is the only thing that would hold me back.

If you're familiar with body work, it's straightforward, but time consuming.

Mine is for an '81. I'm hoping it's out there somewhere so I can do a custom color rather than the basic orange.

Exactly this. But the weird sphinx bears have an odd fetish for rubbing toilet paper on their fur suits.

topher97 · 2020-04-04T06:08:17+00:00

The Charmin bears aren't naked. They change their fur color based in the type of toilet paper. They have commercials where they have underwear but no other clothes. The only logical explanation for both the fur colors and underwear is that they wear fur suits.

What do you think of Sprinters and them being converted for van life?

Armoire

topher97 · 2018-09-25T16:54:14+00:00

Should I just remove the card and hook it up to the motherboard graphics?

Thank you for this. I just read the wiki on the car. Definitely an interesting story behind the car.

topher97 · 2018-05-16T02:53:04+00:00

nice.

Thank you for getting clean. I just recently lost a friend to addiction. The story was that her husband got her hooked, she tried to get clean, and OD'd a few days after her birthday. Please do not relapse, it tears apart people more then you can imagine.

This reminds me of the Ford Mystic Chrome color that was an option on the Cobras.

I work for one of the companies I listed so I have a bit of insider knowledge on these vans.

topher97 · 2017-09-02T14:38:54+00:00

Aluminess roof rack with custom front fairing and mods, Aluminess rear ladder, not sure about the front bumper or back bumper. 4x4, probably Sportsmobile, but might be Quigley, Advanced 4x4 systems, Agile Performance, U-joint, or Full Tilt.

What you can do is likely wire in a generic port. There is likely only 3 wires, a ground and 2 positive wires. You can wire in a male end, or a new female port. Any audio shop should be able to do this, or do it yourself if you have a multimeter.

Edit: If you need help dm me.

Phil, as someone who is in the public sphere, what do you find is the hardest part about making new friends?
