Minnesotan... own way too many minivans and some other "cool" junk. I have a dashcam or two and I am often at the local U-Pull yard. You might see some of that here as well as other related adventures.

Reviving this 1993 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE after 18 years abandoned | Part 4
This 1993 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE had been parked up on a property in south central Minnesota longer than its been on the road, which it last was in 2006.
I paid $100 for it. We were able to make it run and drive again... but can we make it nice?
This episode... We test drive some more, put some fuel in it, address the tires, assess the brake system, and more!

I’m in MN too, you see many Buick park avenues in the lots? Cool that you’re a grand caravan expert, I’m trying to be that with park ave’s
@workinprogress01 hey there! I'm not sure exactly I know I've seen some for sure. I'd recommend checking their inventory on upullrparts.com. That'll give you a better answer than i could.
1:10:04 IT EVEN HAS A CHRYSLER CD PLAYER ??!!! 😱 Maaah gaaaaash. Didn't knew they exists.
Chrysler minivans' dashboard seems to resist pretty well to the sun. I never saw a harden and cracked one, or cracked defrost grille or cracked black plastic parts.
You should start a Chrysler Minivan business ^^ .
1:08:29 and again... thse radios 😍😭. One daaay... one day I' ll get one !! Haha
1:07:54 And it's pretty intresting to see where are the electric motors for the rear windows. The left side one is far back to let the space to the rear heat/A-C ducts and vents and right side one is more in the front. I wonder how they are positionned on non rear heat A/C cars. Maybe it's the same because why make a different part it will work the same without rear climate control ^^ .
@@selenelacaze9883 I do believe the motors are in the same spot on rear ac and non rear ac vans.
1:01:23 Ho wow Red on Red Voyager. Those red interiors are so cool, red seat belts etc, so classy. Rear heater and A/C : O !! Yeah this interior is in really good shape.
@@selenelacaze9883 yeah it was!!

Hello how’s your day going I think your carpets in your van are just worn out but the one in the red van are not worn out like yours are but the new ones will make yours a lot better so like the video can’t wait to se it in yours

Engine noise is going away, that’s good! Looking forward to seeing the interior get restored!
@@seanguy9720 stay tuned!!
That 05 caravan had a lot of good parts. You pulled a good head liner. For sure. You have gotten lucky with your parts. Like your videos.
@harrymiller8538 yes i have thanks!
Thirty million cars? I only see six. Carmine says one boy now I see thirty million. What was that can of stuff you put in with the gas into your van? On your parts for the brakes they offer 3/4 inch bores and 13/ 16 inch bores on the wheel cylinders. I noticed that when I was looking to replace a wheel cylinder on my 99 and I haven't figured out yet why the two different sizes. Good video. Happy Motoring.
@mostlymoparih5682 it was a can of seafoam. I think the difference in wheel cylinders is 14 inch wheel brakes vs 15 inch wheel brakes.
@MNMoparMinivan Yeah maybe but rock auto doesn't point that out. I will have to do some more research. What size wheels are you running?
@@mostlymoparih5682 the 93 voyager has 15 inch wheels and brakes
You know its a 32 year K-car cousin mini van. I'm surprised it even moves under its own power. That engine sounds like my ex-boyfriends 2016 Hyundai Tucson 2.0 4 cylinder before it siezed up. Not sure how much life that van's engine has left
@@memorex398 guess we will find out! Surely more life than the Kia 🤣
Man , the junkyard person that watches ur videos.. needs to hook you up with discounts ! Just ask them on your way in to the yard.. for a price on say the complete interior.. bargain with them ! All they can say is no.. or just maybe you’ll get a better price ! I went to the junkyard yesterday , finally ! Ow I want to go back and buy all the stuff I didn’t have time for .
@462ANIMAL haha discounts would be nice. The thing about my local yards is the prices are what they are. All in their pos system. It's pretty modernized, which is nice. And they have all of their lot inventory done properly and up to date.
@ hmmmm , they call the parts miscellaneous.. just takes a push of a button.. I bought a taillight assembly.. was 42$ with taxes Canadian.. I think our parts day, all you can carry is like 75$. I might do that for old times sake.. fun . I need some transmission parts for a vehicle.. I should carry out a 2.5 boxer Subaru engine ! Lol just need to make sure it’s not blown up

I got an idea. Get you some steel wool window cleaner and a microfiber towel. Spray the window cleaner on the glass. Take the steel wool and wipe it along the glass and take your dry microfiber cloth and wipe it down. I'm sure it's not going to leave any streaks in the glass
@@romonecrosby good idea! If it wasn't cracked I probably would have tried something lime that
Nice parts. Bet it was junked due to motor failure probably. Over 200 thousand miles. But was kept on good shape. Nice 1990 caravan find.

Being an avid youtuber watching VGG and pole barn garage and junkyard digs. I see you will be at their level of subs someday for sure. I don't like vans, but I have been watching all of your videos. Great job! Great to have another channel to watch. Keep it up!
@@LBCosmicConcerns haha thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed!
Since i'm more of a Chrysler Town and Country fan, i prefer the look of the Plymouth's over the Dodges. Plymouth Grand Voyagers have more chrome accents and tend to be "less sporty" than the Dodge Caravan equivalents. Also, i believe Dodge sold many more Caravans than Plymouth did Voyagers so i like to have the vehicle that is more rare to find on the road. I never did get a reason why you called it "turnip" since the van is white and not a reddish color?
And regarding that piece of tape on driver’s front, I wondered about that exact thing doing my struts. Didn’t pull out so there it stayed.
@@TheFUZEMAN haha I think it was to keep water from entering the rails because it's not completely covered by the plastic shielding. Probably a last minute afterthought on Chryslers part

And you're not an idiot for doing the windshield like that but you can also I learned this from an old mechanic take a really long dog leash cable put it through one side of the windshield and attach it to a tree and drive away it takes it all the way clean off. Of course you still have to scrape. in widescreen mode we can see that you're not wearing those dreadful cracks 🤮😂 I'm super surprised you order from RockAuto I used to and there was too many problems! I want to say I haven't ordered from them in like 6 to 7 years I can't believe they're still in business! Too bad the van at the end it looked like it was a really nice one too bad they're being junked!
@peachyclean93 the only issues I have on rockauto is ordering from clearance. Even then never had issues getting my money back
I probably mentioned this 1 or 20 times before, but i am jealous about your euphoria. I'm always afraid of old electronics, especially on 604 transmissions...don't know if i am right or not. Both of my 1st gens are 41te's, so...
