Default Astro Van build

Hey guys I've been lurking around for a while and thought I would
share my project and introduce myself. My name is Imran and I have a
weird affinity for vans and wagons. I currently have a 92 Astro van
I'm working on. The plan is get it looking good enough to park in the
driveway, v-8 motor, and a sorted suspension that will make it fun to
drive. To start off I lowered it with 2" bell tech spindles and 2.5"
coil springs. I modified the rear flip kit to drop it 6" and c notched
the frame.






Oh yeah since I want this thing to handle I replaced all the front end
parts with moog chassis parts, pst control arm bushings and bell tech
sport shocks all around. Next step was wheels and tires. I did 20x8.5"
and 20x10" Boss Motorsports wheels wrapped in 245/35-20 and 275/30-20
Nitto 555.







As you can see I also started shaving the tails.





Next up get rid of the rear bumper and plastic body trim and roof rack.









I also started putting on the bumper covers and air dam too.
I found the rear surround from a Malibu would work perfect so...



Also started working on the new taillight buckets.



Got the rest of the kit on and the billet grille too.
