New Race Van

I thought I would share some picture of my new project I have been working on.

I would love a sprinter!!! We've had several ford e350 vans that we raced out of and they were great other than the mpg. Let us know what engine and what mpg you get.

Very, very sharp! Need some pix of the inside....please.

That inspires me. I should buy an old bread truck and paint "Dough Boy Racing" on the side.

Cool van!! I would easily go that direction, I think it's the ultimate. My wife on the other hand could not wait for me to get rid of my Diesel Chevy van because she hated smelling the motorcycle tires!

One Grey Ghost. Like VMFA 531???

inside pics

I will post some pics this week end hopefully. Me and a friend are doing the inside ourselves. We are converting it to a small toy hauler with a partition between the bikes and the sleeping area. This should keep the gas smell in the back. It should be able to carry three bikes and sleep three guys.

I got a new sprinter van for work last year and I just get a chubby every time I wish it was mine.

Work van is a e-350 and I thank god its NOT mine.. what kind of milage you get in your sprinter? that has the new v6 not the I-5 right?

 

[HydroDog]

My work sprinter is a high roof,long wheel base, V6 diesel that is super quiet.
Driving nothing but highway doing between 65-75mph it will do a consistant 19-20mpg and that is with about 1000lbs of tools inside. Around town it gets about 15-16mpg.

Race Van

I still have a long way to go but the project is comming together slowly. Hopefully this week I can get the sofa bed installed and the diamond plate up in the back where the bikes will be tied down. The only thing then is to install the headliner, carpet the inside and mount the flat screen TV
