No, no, no! Stock height is the way to go on those vans for a proper old school look!

Ha, like that pic where its in the weeds!
It is stock height at the mo.
Drives really good - can throw it around and brakes are ace.
It appears to have 4 speed box, or is that 3 speed with torque converter lock out, so 70 is cruising (apart from wind noise lol).
Sounds OK - a bit quiet after Charger, ok on WOT, but a few miles may blow a bit out of the silencers.
Because you are practically sat on the engine, you can hear a either the alternator or transmission - sounds like a super charger winding up.
Suffering with lumpy tickover - carb strip today, perhaps timing needs sorting for modern fuel.
Usual teething troubles for a vehicle that hasn't been on the road for years.
Anyone know any history of it - I got it from "darn sowf", was imported 1990.
Say hello from Rosco!!

I like the stock ride height.....But then again the photoshop from Jeff makes it look even more agressive with the sidepipes and wheels combo.......

I'd probably end up lowering!

Great looking Van allround! :thumbright:
