I need help finding my old van. It is a 1989 Chevrolet G20 Conversion Van, converted by Vancraft. Has a 350SBC, and was sold around 2012-2013. Around Christmas time was when it was gone. Any help is appreciated. I might be able to get the plates tonight. Was sold in Graham, Washington, USA. Pic related, only pic I have of her.

Post this on Reddit if you want actual help. This board is a bunch of shitposting autists. You'll be likely to staple water to a tree before anyone on this board does anything of value.

I got my first one this past spring. Had to change it in a dirt lot between puddles, too. Fun.

Why do normies not have shitty opinions on your motorbikes?
With enthusiast cars they always say , too low, too old, too unsafe, too noisy, too bumpy and why do you like that car it's not even expensive.
When it comes to bikes normies just realise they don't understand you interest and stfu with their shit uneducated opinions except for maybe saying bikes are unsafe...
What's with the attitude difference?
They complain all the time about bikes
>>17738421
Not the same way.
Oh but they do, and like bikers complaining about carfags and carfags complaining about carfags it's all hypocrisy all the way down
>They don't respect the law when they lane split. It's dangerous and illegal. Oh, it's safe? It's illegal. Illegal, got it? The law is the law, and it's not fair for them to do that. Using their vehicle to their advantage...fucking pisses me off.
>*goes 5 miles over the speed limit everywhere and blocks people in lanes using sheer size because they don't want to be "cut off"*
>They're too loud. Fucking bikers wake me up in the morning!
>*honks at everything*
>*honks some more just to be sure they know someone was pissed off*
>They're unsafe you do know that right
>*wildly throws a 3000lb metal box through traffic because IMMA BE LATE FOR WOOOORK*
The only attitude difference between car shit and bike shit is benchracing. Bikers don't benchrace half as much because everything is fast enough for it not to matter and they're so hard to corner on that you have no hope of somewhat replicating professional lap times, and kids on budget 250s can out-corner 1000cc death machines with premium trackdaybro suspensions.
Is it me or do Volkswagens smell weird?
My friend used to have a 2001 Passat, and she replaced it with a 2016 Tiguan. The Passat definitely had a weird chemical smell, and it seems to me like the Tiguan is getting a similar one.
Crayons.
Salty milk and pennies.

Smells like crayons, it's common. Something about the plastic coating in than
So I've been saving for awhile as my parents didn't get me my first car so I'm wanting ideas for a starting car, my budget is £39,995 unfortunately I can't get my dream car which is a 2017 mustang because I've never driven before so I won't get insured.
Looking for suggestions I'm thinking a Ford Fiesta ST or maybe a diffrent hatch back
All ideas are appreciated I need something that is fast, fun to drive and cheap to run
>>17738130
Your biggest problem is insurance.
For someone like you buying a super hot hatch will be a death sentence for your wallet because you will 100% get ripped off by insurance as you are a starting driver.
Buy a shitbox to drive 2 years for insurance prems to drop then splurge on a mustang or whatever.
>>17738130
>I'm thinking a Ford Fiesta ST or maybe a diffrent hatch back
no chance.
get a citroen c2 and save cash until you can buy something better
>>17738130
Just get an older hot-hatch like an Old GTI or clio or something until you can afford the car you actually want, a couple years of accident free driving will lower your insurance premiums when you can actually get a nice car (And not get raped by the payments)
There are a LOT of good used cars for sale in the UK too, for decent prices, you really have a huge selection if you don't mind going for a cheaper older fun car for a couple years
So I bought this 82 F150 from an elderly couple but I have no clue wtf this engine is. I looked all over this bitch to find the type of engine it is. They said it's a 302 but it not the og engine.
>TL;DR fuckwad don't know what this engine is
>>17738071
Also the engine that's is in it currently they said they pulled it from a 69 Gran Torino.
302 CID Windsor V8
>>17738084
Not the og engine. Unless what you just typed also translates into the 302 ci from the Gran Torino. In which case I'd have 220 hp

Should I, /o/?
I think you should bargain it down to 2500$
Should I replace my Taurus 2003 Duratec with this if it checks out?

What is your malfunction?
Deadset, the wheels that came off the VY SS were some of the best stock wheels on a decently priced car.
>>17737686
you know who here you have my blessing
Can't do this with a ute.
Hey bros, sorry for taking a long time. 1989 Escort guy with starting issues back.
I removed the air filter, exposing the Weber carb underneath. As you can see in the photo the choke isn't fully open when idling and it also doesn't move much when I press the gas (sorry, don't have much knowledge about carbs)
Anyway, the choke has about a half inch of freedom of movement and I cannot push it all the way closed. When I start it and get the low idle, the valve doesn't stand up straight, but does so after a little while at which point it idles normal (1000rpm)
thoughts?
Bumping w. a new angle.
I have only ever seen those "Mark II" stickers on Ford Orions of the era, I also have a spoiler so maybe that sticker was part of the "sporty" deal someone must have had going on...

>>17737685
True and thanks for the tip, I just thought to post here since there's a few guys with similar tastes and who are a bit more friendly... Just a follow up cause if the problem IS the choke like another anon says, it will be very easy to fix
Hey guys,
I have been looking at the Fiesta ST and I really want it but I have some concerns
I keep seeing stuff online about the transmission being noisy and having issues?
Do you guys know if the Fiesta ST has issues?
Thanks

Money pit.
It was a problem only with the non-ST Fiestas and Foci, the dual clutch automatic transmission was poorly programmed and wore out clutches quickly. Manual transmission Foci and Fiestas, including the STs don't have that problem.
Hey /o/ do you guys know what car this is?
