The Candy Van - 1982 Econoline E100

As always, loving the pictures!

At the car wash!

Now it just needs some aluminum running boards for that perfect Candy Van vibe...

Checked another state off the map the other day.  The van has officially been to Delaware!

After spending a few months moving and the van getting stuck in storage for awhile, we took it out to blow out the carb this weekend.  It seems to have developed a vacuum leak while parked because its idling around 1500.  Not sure when I will get a chance to take a look but I will try and get to it soon.

We were able to fit some Michivanning and Indivanning in on the same day thanks to a strategic stop.

A 1982 vehicle develops a vacuum leak?!  Nahhhhh!  ;)

Glad to see it out vanning around!

I know!  I've already filed a Lemon Law case with Ford over the vacuum leak.  And the oil leak.  And the transmission leak.  And the water leak. And the power steering leak....

No fuel leak??

Because that's the next thing I need to look at on the 89 club wagon

So. Many. Vacuum Hoses!

Most people think about music, hair styles, and movies when you mention the '80s.   I see the vacuum hoses.

Reenactment of working under the hood on an 80s carb-

Today was a big day!  While we were transferring the vehicles from PA to MI, I ordered up a personalized plate and it finally came in the mail!
