So after a short while searching this beautiful machine popped up on MiniMania.com only about an hour and a half from me. I had to go take a look and I am incredibly glad I did! This thing is super clean, there is some rust but doesn't appear to be too bad honestly. The underside is clean, floors are clean, glass is good, and the engine is solid for the most part. Made the 101 mile drive from the previous owner to my house without a single break down or issue. I was amazed, to be honest.

But I'll shut up now so you guys can see my beauty!

The gear ratio kinda stinks, it only goes 50-55mph and I think the waterpump is bad, but that's pretty much it for issues that I can immediately diagnose.

Can't wait to spend more quality time with her!

Thanks everyone. I love it.

Im bringing it to a shop next week to have them review it, see what it may need that is beyond my ability and what I already know it needs. Hopefully I don't get a very long list back!

Nice van in great condition!

Two things for you:

- These were always known as Minivans and you have to become really annoying by telling everyone you meet they are using the word minivan wrongly. You only have to change a whole nation's speaking habits, so it's not like it's difficult.

- At least one pregnancy per year should result from activity inside the van (yes, inside). Extra points will be awarded for footprints left on the underside of the roof. If you do not maintain this minimum level, the Minivan police will come and take it from you, as this is what Minivans have always been used for.
