Its been a really long time since Ive posted here, so wanted to say hi to lots of friends Ive known over the years.
Some of you might remember me, I built the 4.3L 4 Runner a few years ago.
https://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=6974.0I sold my 4 runner because of life, and ended up with a Jeep for about 10 years. Now that the kids are all older, and needing to drive, I sold my Jeep for about what I paid for it, crazy ha.
Anyway, I wanted to show you guys my new build.
Its kind of a weird one, but here you go
I started with a 1993 Chevy G20 Van and a tiny welder from Harbor Freight

Added some porthole windows and my best attempt at body work (I dont do this for a living, so not very good at it)

Still have lots to do, but its my daily driver

Its been fun building this, not the most practical thing, but really lots of fun.
