OUTLAW SPRINTER!!!
I figure its about time I make a place for me to post details about my Sprinter and its own specific lunacy.
Before I start you should know that I'm a hardcore gear head that has built about every type of vehicle on earth over the last 3 or 4 decades.(note, that is actually me in my avatar) A little over a year and a half ago my wife told me we were having a baby!! Which was the perfect excuse to by the VW van I had always wanted. Deciding between a Vanagon and a Eurovan was tough as each had their own merits. Some made more sense for hauling around a newborn baby than others.
Being a cheap skate and a car guy that believes that cool vehicles are built, not bought, I purchased a couple of Eurovans and built one good one from the ashes. If you are really bored, here is the build thread on Expo. (not for the faint of heart)

I love(d) the Eurovan so much that I decided to sell my Dodge pickup and buy a Sprinter to build next. Not really sure why, but hell, I like the process and the pain I guess Gives me something to do
If you really can't wait for me to get this thread caught up over here, you can read the one on Expo.

Soon, I hope to have this one up to date and hope it adds....ah....something entertaining and useful to this site.
This is what I started with. A 2004 dual slider 158" with 270K on the clock. Cargo van with heated seats fully adjsutable, 7 day timer, power locks, windows, cruise. Victim of a bad respray, bad tires, etc.
I drove it like a mad man from Maine to Denver!
...and tore into it and this is roughly what it looked like a few weeks ago.
