Pre Rally parking lot gathering.
Pre rally bonus.
I wanted to permanently wire in the disco light before the Asphault Adventures rally this weekend.
The rear stereo had power to it, and a switch connected to it by the drivers seat would be the perfect place to wire in the light. I dropped the rear panel to gain access to the wiring
and out fell two fifty dollar bills!
They had a 1990 date, were dried out and had been up there for a long time. After this discovery I unbolted all the other panels I could find but didn’t find any more hidden treasure.
With the change I found throughout the van when I cleaned it out, and this $100. The $500 van was less than $400.
Nice and dry.
Exploring the Pine Barrens
The van has a new license plate.

Made it to Harrisonburg, VA
After getting yesterday’s coolant issues resolved we hooked up with Gregg and Kevin’s teams for a caravan to Virginia. We pulled in after 11:00 to a wonderful collection of crap cars. It was a cold night, I was glad the heater was working and I didn’t have to bypass it yesterday. Here is a view of some of the cars we will be rallying with.
Leaking antifreeze on Day 0
I had been feeling pretty good about the shape of the van. I was up planning to finish off the theme, and do some packing today. Oh and find some cup holders. 🙂
I warmed up the van and found a puddle of antifreeze under the front bumper. Not good. Upon further investigation it looks like the heater valve is leaking. It should be a stocked item at the parts store so before I bypass it or dump some stop leak in, I’ll try and replace it.
Good thing we are leaving later.
