I can usually get a good runner for about a grand as far as a beater truck/van goes.
Looks like I can get an aerostar/astro van for about a grand at the moment, no power breaks and all the time im putting into the burbs body work makes it worth the cash.
This is a roll on rustoleum paint job BTW, the last picture is after wet-sanding and polishing
Plus, gas may be around 4 bucks with summer. Not sure I could get better than 10mpg on my burb 😆
