I have been wanting to get my van restored for at least seven years and I
am finally seeing the results trickle in.  The van is being restored by
Vivid Vans who reside on Vancouver Island in a town between Victoria and
Nanaimo called Duncan.  http://www.vividvans.com/

I dropped the van off this past January and then took a float plane ride
back home to Vancouver.  Vivid began working on project "Green Day" mid
March. The pictures are in the order of deconstruction - with the
intact picture of the van taken the day I left it behind and the skeletal
shots taken in May.  I am waiting for an update as I understand the panels
are being tacked on and so something should be coming soon.

I'll be adding a big brake kit, oil cooler, new suspension, new bushings,
clutch, 16" MB wheels, new brake and steering lines, starter, fuel
tank kit, new tent, solar, a Webasto furnace...plus a few other odds and
ends.

Anyway I figured I would clean up the platform otherwise it would have
slowly disintegrated on me -  before considering an engine upgrade.  There
is still some life left in the 2.1 boxer and hoping the oil cooler will
extend it a little further.

Hopefully the link works.
