I've just bought a 1986 astro non runner off ebay, theres not a spot of rust on it but it got faded paint on the bonnet.

i plan to replace my van of the moment

so the new one should be fully wrapped in my company colours and images but i would like to add the billet grill if anyone can recomend where to buy one please?

mmmnnn looks a nice conversion that one (got to look better than the "sooty van" ) and will improve your business presence I would think!

I must say that the sooty van did have 100% plastic hubcaps fitted to bling it up LOL

Nice van.
Why is it a non runner? Do you know why?

Good luck with it!
Andy.

the bloke who had it said it just slowed down as though fuel starvation, hes rebuilt the carb badly. we've got it running with flames out the exhaust etc but its running, also loads of oil came out the passenger side of the engine

I used to drive a suzuki rascal pick-up for when, whenever you stopped suddenly it felt like it was going to roll over forwards!
