  • Parts car

    I can get a 99 venture, new tranny, 250000 K on motor for like 500$ CDN. A dad of my friend is selling his, he bought new truck, it has broken window, needs hub/cv axle, thats it. I was thinkin Pull motor/tranny, do cam/heads/throttlebody/intakes, maybe turbo. beef up tranny. Dump it in the white rocket Then part out the other green one, to use for parts van! I think its a good deal.

      Umm, you do realize he already OWNS the white van in his sig that he uses for other reasons than just going fast, right?

      Sounds liek a plan, especially the turbo aspect.

        Very true, need space for the sound system, and bed. haha. But seriosly, I think it will be a good idea, and price is right. Maybe go to wreckers, find an old probe with a turbo 2.2, grab turbo/intercooler and make a budget turbo build lol

          Well, not much to fix the other van, that's cheap. I'd fix them both up, then pick one and make it a fast van. Gut it, strip it, lighten it, and do the motor. Keep one as nice reliable mint condition. So I say if you must do a venture, make the mean green mystery machine!

            Yah, couple ways to look at it, keep the white van clean/daily driver, make the green one a fast guy. Like you said, strip it, go with black steelies, tint it DARK, and make it all motor. lol

                Go for the hot-rod greenie. Keep the white as the pimped out daily driver with nice sounding exhaust.

                  take the green one, build the motor up front and add another built motor for the back
