would be great if you had more pics on the process, my front driver is in good condition but soft and I have a line on a new rear facing I could use as the donor.

Nice color combo. Might steal some of that idea on my teal 93. Just got my steel wheels so I need to finish them up a bit then get them painted.

The threads I looked at had many with heated seats and still functional, only rotates 180 and the heate sat wire was routed up through the middle.
I have rear facing too, but for camping I will,take out the passenger rear facing for a cooler or storage.

those look nice porschetrimr!!

So first issue with the new to me 93 MV, there is a crack on on of the front wheel spokes. Glad I found it now rather then pushing the van far from home.
Going to stick the spare on for now.

I like the spare steel look (crazy I know), and it is cheap while I figure out what else might need $$. So was thinking of just going that route for new rims up to a 16 for more tire choices. Or is it better to go 17?
The local tire/wheel guys suggested a 16x6.5" wheel with ET41 (pacer 83b fwd black mods) wearing some Kumho Road Venture APT KL51 with 104 load rating. 235/60/r16 104h,
so will the 41 and 235 will be a tiny bit closer than the et42 suggest, but will that foul any suspension parts?

so many options, hard to land on a wheel size that will allow for the most rubber choices.

No snow around these parts but looking for a good standard highway tire on regular stock wheels. Any suggestions?
Seems the 15" with correct load rating is a tad hard to find. Perhaps I should bite the the bullet on a 16" or 17" wheel conversion assuming that that size has more available rubber with the correct load rating. Family van so I don't need 18's and low profile , but just some long wearing freeway rubber.

nice wheels, don't see a price though. Not a big deal for me as I am too far to take advantage.

sale on this swivel seat adapter. Looks ok but never dealt with the company.
Better options?
Good place to deal with?
$198 for the swivel and $44 for the adapter/new clicker.
Seems like even an install I could do, I have changed a light bulb in the past.
Of course they are out of stock though DOH!

General Discussion / Just a wee Hello, new eurovan owner

« on: November 16, 2015, 04:26:59 pm »

new to me 93 MV eurovan
133,000 smiles already.

Looking forward to the adventure.
I think a transmission tlc is in need, she is a tad clunky and slipped out of gear once so far. Automatic tranny but seemly well looked after, I have almost all of the paper work from the last 10years at least. passed down from family members and then to me a close friend of the previous owner.

looking forward to gaining more knowledge from everyone.

Good stuff, just finishing off a deal on a 93 mv and will be taking her in for a bunch or preventative items it seems.
Enjoyed the ADV threads Cole, hopefully you can keep both paces updates with the goodness.
