Hi zombie{[six]}
If the vehicle is currently in the same shape it's in as the pictures you posted Z6, not much if anything from people looking to drive it away. It's not legal to drive a van with no Bumpers or dash in it. You only have 1 seat and it's gutted. You spent over $5000.00 on it as you said.

I know you just lost your job recently and that you need money for schooling now, so my suggestion is to: Keep it ,and Complete what you have started, or Part the vehicle out as it sits, you will get more money from it. This is way to much work to be sold as a project van for someone else to take on (personally speaking of course).

The question you might want to ask yourself Z6, is what would you "honestly" pay for it if you were looking around for one?

I'm sure others will chime in when they see this post and please don't take these comments the wrong way Z6, that's all they are is comments and the way I would do it myself under your circumstances. :)

Yeah, what matrixx said. I don't think you could nearly get as much out of it as you have put into it. Keep it.

Your best chance to get any money out of it would be to part it out. Figure out what you could get for the parts and go from there.

Yeah, you should keep it. It is very difficult to reclaim any investment in these or any type of modified vehicle.
When I had mine up on the block at $5500, nobody would even look at it....and I've got $14k+ into it. So I pulled it off the market.
Besides, it's better if I keep it, 'cuz it's the truck that made me well known!

hey zombie its a wonder u still have it for that price. i would have asked $1800 to $2000 for it. man i hate that your gonna give it away like that. im not in a position to buy it but ill spread the word. could u help me with some info though? i was looking for a bigger phantom grille like whats on your van. ive shaved my corner markers and got rid of the plastic grille shell like youve done with that one. is it a grille from a fullsize? where did u get it? the metal comes down at an angle towards the center where i replaced the corner markers so i was looking to cut the sides in at an angle. the one u have looks exactly what i was lookin for. also same deal on the hids. mines a 90. i found some on ebay that had the black lens background. i think they come with a wire harness conversion connector. did yours hook up like that? any info appreciated and good luck sellin the van but think it over youve got a lot of work into that. mark c.

i honestly dont know much about the grille.
I got it off another astro at a junk yard.
As for the HID kits. I get mine locally for $140. Good kits, 3 year warranty, etc.
Mine has 2 pins that plug into the stock wiring harness.
the black backed headlamps dont project light very well.
