New Ford Owner!

Hello

Recently got a Ford E-150 2008 Cargo! I'm currently planning to build the vehicle out into a tiny home. Currently figuring out how to deal with some rust on the body bolts and learn generally how to work on a car, I've never really worked on a car before so it's all totally new to me. Hope to get advice and education so I can be a good car owner. Currently trying to track down a service repair manual.

Thanks
Lotus Potato

Looks like you already have a thread going in "1968-2013 Full Size Vans". I posted an answer for you there.

Welcome aboard!

Welcome! Would love to see some pictures of your new Van once you get it set up! Have often thought about doing something similar for off road type camping.
