Many pictures missing, though the clean looking exhaust is a hint that
things could be pretty clean under the lid. If so, why no pictures of
the engine? Unless they didn't have time, but I doubt it. If the
engine compartment was as clean as the rest of the van appears to be,
I would have posted the pictures.
Probably a not so good re-spray, though they mention 'paint strip' in
the description. The lower sliding door track doesn't look as if it
has been touched since long before the paint job. If I were shopping,
this would stop me looking at this one. Would be great to have a list
member look at this.
What a nice clean look, inside and out. Gas cap looks like hell. Love
those stripes!
