So the van is running strong still. been taking it to local car cruises and car shows. even drag raced it at a drag race show. 38 mph 16.5 seconds for the 1/8 mile. it gets lots of laughs and pics and thumbs up. kids love to sit in it. this winter when weather gets bad i will be getting the body work done and fixed. then maybe a wrap job. overall it tested all my skills and knowledge but worth it. if u have a van go kart send me a pic i wouls love to see yours.
