Newbe from the Netherlands

Postby TurboTijn [OP] » November 13th 2011, 3:50pm

Hi all,

I'm Martijn, almost 33 years old, have owned a '87 Astro before and now I am waiting for a '86 Astro to arrive from California :D
Have had many usa cars in the past, and current own a 454ci Chevy Nova from 1973.

If you have any questions just ask !

Thanks. Bought it from first owner who lives in California. I was told the Astro slept all its life in a garage.

Just received an email that the Van will be shipped on 11-19-2011 from LA and will arrive in Rotterdam at 12-12-2011. I hardly can't wait :chevy:

WTF. 4th time now and now really are getting pissed of.

My request has time out. Please try again...

It has been a while since my last visit to this forum. In the meantime my Astro has arrived at the Netherlands.
Pretty much happy with it, except for the wheels. One has some metal putty on it and I need to inflate it every day :(
Except from that, everything works like it should.

I need some small parts. Maybe you guys can help me out ?
I need the front bumper end from passengers side. Found it on ebay but seller wont ship to Netherlands.

And maybe one of you have a nice set of wheels for sale ?

Nice looking rig. Glad they didn't loose it like my MIL's friends Volvo, which ended up a the bottom of the ocean.

It's been timing out the past few days, it does that from time to time :banghead:
