The HMT A-team Van NW style... (RIP)
 

Well tonight was a day that has been planned out for some time. I have owned this 84 Ford Econoline for 4 years now, its been a great tow rig, has stored lots of my engine parts and I had very little money in it. However, its a very sour sight for the eyes, and it has been getting really thrashed over the years. I've hit various stop signs, shopping carts, mailboxes with this thing.. its ridiciouls. Tonight, me and Dustin (turbohf) headed up to the Northend Bellingham to visit Dave (leed) and Steve (88dx) (Omar also joined us)

As I arrived at Daves apartment complex we quickly got the sawzalls out ready for action

[img width=640 height=480]https://www.homemadeturbo.com/van/cut1.JPG[/img]

I jumped the gun and broke 3 blades in a matter of minutes. The goal was to cut the entire thing off and make it a convertable.

[img width=640 height=480]https://www.homemadeturbo.com/van/cut2.JPG[/img]

However, we changed our minds and decided to cut the entire sides off and keep the room, which ended up being way better.

[img width=640 height=480]https://www.homemadeturbo.com/van/cut3.JPG[/img]

You can only imagne the noise we were making 2 sawzalls 1/4 panel deep... it was a beautiful sight. Neighbors laughed and suprisingly nobody said anything.

[img width=640 height=480]https://www.homemadeturbo.com/van/coolant1.JPG[/img]

I forgot there was a rear heater core, and accidently went through the lines when cutting. :P

[img width=640 height=480]https://www.homemadeturbo.com/van/Ateam1.JPG[/img]

We then decided to go with a full on A-team paint scheme, using all high quality lowes home latex paint with rollers and everything. It was a very nice touch. Black Body, Red stripes, and gold wheels.

[img width=640 height=480]https://www.homemadeturbo.com/van/CleanCut.JPG[/img]

The Pass side had a really nice clean cut, and looked pretty badass, The driverside.... we ran out of blades and just left it.

[img width=640 height=480]https://www.homemadeturbo.com/van/EcuJack.JPG[/img]

The plan was to take it back to this gravel pit where nobody goes and ---- it up and leave it there. On the way there I was getting a bit excitied and took a detour, We got stuck pretty bad, and if it wasnt for steves stock honda scissor jack and my P2E ecu, theres no way we would have gotten out.

[img width=640 height=480]https://www.homemadeturbo.com/van/camber.JPG[/img]

As you can see we had some camber issues.

[img width=640 height=480]https://www.homemadeturbo.com/van/SideRemoval.JPG[/img]

The driverside rear needed to be removed, so we wrapped a tow strap/cable around the section and steve ripped it out in his dads civic. This was probably the funniest parts of the whole trip, and the video will be hilarious.

[img width=640 height=480]https://www.homemadeturbo.com/van/ProudJeff.JPG[/img]

I must say, it was a beautiful sight..

[img width=640 height=480]https://www.homemadeturbo.com/van/Shmidty.JPG[/img]

Took a few Shmidtys to take the edge off.

[img width=640 height=480]https://www.homemadeturbo.com/van/Shmidty2.JPG[/img]

What was amazing, even though the entire side panels were ripped off, the bed, the mood lights, the stereo all still worked perfectly.

[img width=640 height=480]https://www.homemadeturbo.com/van/ReadyToRock.JPG[/img]

Ready to Roll

[img width=640 height=480]https://www.homemadeturbo.com/van/TiteRollin.JPG[/img]

After we finally made it to the gravel pit, it wasnt long before we blew a rear tire. We made only 1 semi decent jump which then caused the engine to overheat, so we just stuck a rock on the gas pedel and let her seize up.

[img width=640 height=480]https://www.homemadeturbo.com/van/BurnFucker1.JPG[/img]

Obviously this van wasnt coming back home with me, so... we ------ some gas all over the interior.

Dave brang the AK47 and we had to have a little fun =)

Re: The HMT A-team Van NW style... (RIP)

Re: The HMT A-team Van NW style... (RIP)
 

Ohh the poor van! I rember running around out by flowing lake in that thing towing your boat with bad brakes and bad tabs lol .........or how about doing burnouts in ricks yard then breaking the timing belt at Oaksdale lmao! ahhh good times 8)

Re: The HMT A-team Van NW style... (RIP)
 

I had a blast the paint job turned out really good and cutting that fucker with the sawzalls was sweet. I also got a flat from running the dog house over :-X so on the way home i made sure too top out the civic on the freeway 100mph on the spare tire felt great :X

Re: The HMT A-team Van NW style... (RIP)
 

O MY ------- GOD! i never laughed so hard in my life.. i still cant believe you did that hahahaha

dude if i new you where gonna do that, i would have drove my ass out there just for that haha

Re: The HMT A-team Van NW style... (RIP)
 

RIP child molester van. That looked like it was ------- sweet. LoL!

Re: The HMT A-team Van NW style... (RIP)
 

"Only for a moment, but now that moments gone, Dust in the wind"

------ a, I remember running over stopsigns in that thing, the wondow shattering.. lol.. taking no streetracing signs on the top of it.. oh man.. ha

Re: The HMT A-team Van NW style... (RIP)
 

Ha that whole thing was funny then the AK comes out to top it off. Its amazing the stupid stuff you can do and get away with it... everytime we light something on fire in our town the fire department comes but apparently if they dont turn on their hoses and you have everything under control you dont get in trouble.

Re: The HMT A-team Van NW style... (RIP)
 

LOL...freaking hilarious!!! :D ;D

Re: The HMT A-team Van NW style... (RIP)
 

So you spent money on paint and wasted some saw blades just to burn that fucker up? lol. Damn thats pretty hardcore. Won't the poice ever find it and trace it back to you?

Re: The HMT A-team Van NW style... (RIP)
 

Absolutely Hilarious!!!!!

Trace it back? What's he gonna get, a littering charge, or trespassing. It's not really vandalism when you own it!!
The guy who owns the gravel pit will probably make money from the scrap metal!!

Re: The HMT A-team Van NW style... (RIP)
 

now thats economic

Re: The HMT A-team Van NW style... (RIP)
 

yeah i woulda found my way out there had i known!!!

NOW THATS AN HMT MEET!!!! :y

Re: The HMT A-team Van NW style... (RIP)
 

You guys rock, seriously, hurry up w/the vid! O0

Re: The HMT A-team Van NW style... (RIP)
 

My AK is actually pretty weak sauce. Its fully legal, semi-auto only. Still fun though.
A few yrs ago it made an appearance on the CRX-Resource and some nancy-pants fag on the East Coast thought I was a terrorist and called my local PD. They came and took it from me so they could check it out and make sure it was legit, and w/ no bad history. I didnt get it back for 6months I think.

Re: The HMT A-team Van NW style... (RIP)
 

holly ---- damn thats crazy wish i was in your area could have had a 2 for one throw a accent in the mix

Re: The HMT A-team Van NW style... (RIP)
 

you guys are ------ nuts lol, props on the disasterous ending

Re: The HMT A-team Van NW style... (RIP)
 

haha now that looks fun :6

Re: The HMT A-team Van NW style... (RIP)
 

i laughed so hard when i saw the pictures of it on fire. not what i expected at all.

Re: The HMT A-team Van NW style... (RIP)
 

Haha, I did some ---- like that with an 89 Accord. I bought it for $500, sold it to my sister, she wrecked it, then sold it my my buddy for $100 and took that fucker rally racing on the way out to it's final resting place. Then we shot the piss out of it and lit it on fire. Good times. :6 :y
