I'm new here
Hello everyone 👀
I bought a 1973 ford e200 van back in August. I was spending so much money on repairs to newer vehicles, I decided I wanted to get an older vehicle that I could fix myself. So far I've replaced a lot on it. Tho it's still costing significantly less. Right now I'm in the process of replacing the radiator. Waiting for shipment.
I just wanted to say hello, and get to know you folks😊

So far I've replaced the valve cover gaskets, several rubber gas lines, two coolant hoses, replaced severed ground wire in distributor, pulled a stray piece of metal out of a wiring harness that caused the horn to honk 😂 a multitude of adjustments, mended a hole in the radiator that resulted in enough pressure build up to cause another hole. Mended that and five more spouted 😔 thus the reason for a new one on order. I heard grinding in the front passenger wheel 😬 opened it up and found a loose brake spring rattling and wedging. I made a spring holder with a bent 16 penny nail, now it's fine 😎 etc etc

thanks! I got the radiator in. Now it won't start. Turns over. Spark plugs were really fouled. I cleaned them and it started well yesterday. Wouldn't start today.
