Ready for the Road!

After a day and a half at the garage, she is certified and legal! 

Here is what was done to our 1987 van:
- new wiper blades and washer fluid pump
- new emergency brake cables
- right headlight adjuster
- 1 headlight bulb installed
- propane tank and lines removed, as the tank did not pass inspection

Not bad for a 25 year old vehicle. There is an oil leak, but our mechanic advised that we gauge how much is leaking before we decide if we want to have the transmission taken out to fix the leak. It would probably cost $500 - $600 dollars. 

I put $50 of gas in her on the way home, and the tank is about half full. Yikes! Then I cranked the rock and roll radio station as I cruised down the highway home. 

Costs thus far
$900 cost of van
$793 certification
$191 licensing
$70 gas
$60 paint 
Total: $2014
Feeling of freedom - priceless!
