Well, she's catching on. I also have a '93 Eurovan Weekender (with 2nd '93 GL parts van) I've been working on for a few years. These are older pictures <http://www.kippert.com/ev/> but I've not gotten much further. It's a project I've decided to call quits and sell. My wife says I can do whatever I want with the proceeds of the van but these have to be gone before I drag anything else home.

Gee whiz! It stinks when she makes sense. If the Eurovans were gone, the dinner might just work...
