Basically, you wont see this build as fast as my other ones. trying to save up for my transition to civilian life, while building at a decent pace and how i am comfortable.

after camber arms, at ride height
15mm spacers
toe arms
and a few hours of adjustments

so are these the pics after you modified the front tophats??  Good choice with the wheels

nah, i havent put them on yet, just modded a set i had around

these are the right wheels... what's next?

aero soon, relocation of air ride under the back where the spare tire was, fiberglass box with 2 10s, door speakers and a pair of amps, garson monogram dash and a pilliar and door covers, monogram seats, monogram mats, monogram everything.
ill be making a huge purchase at tokyo auto salon since its 20% off the normal japan price, which is less than retail anyways

The full faced wheels work better on the Stepwagon since they are so narrow that Ordens would have 0.25 inches of lip and not look as good. Aero should make it look much more complete. Nice job!

Looks nice with these rims.  Can't wait to see the interior.  You are going to have no issues getting all the soccar moms :biggthumpup:

pretty solid looking van in stock form. Should look great with some aero.

Nice start , glad you are working on getting some aero I think it will bring it out a bit . cant wait to see you progress :dance:

sick-ness...

good job grant.

Good shit Grant.

I've never seen one of these, lots of work for a heinous body style, but to each their own. Gotta admire the fab put in but still...

Nice seats you got there.  Are the photos at 0 PSI?

Give us free!

Free Grant? Before starting a movement, try to understand the staff's decision. Just FYI, Grant aka YokotaS13 did not follow the rules and he was given many warnings. First, it was inappropriate behavior towards other members as well as staff. Then after giving him a warning regarding how many wheels he was selling, he still decides to disregard our notice. Sure he gave great deals and participated but in the end, VSC needs to protect its community especially the vendors who support our site. We have forum rules for the best interest of the community. Feel free to contact me via PM or email [email]mike@vipstylecars.com[/email]

aye. its not that serious. Am having a good laugh at everybody's expense including him. For all I care he could stay banned. I had my fun for the day.

No worries. Just want people to know why he was banned. I just wished he didn't go about the way he did and everything would have been good.

wrd. he had tons of knowledge, but he could also be a pompous prick.
