Hello all. I'm pretty new to the forum and I haven't posted any pics of my expy on here cuz it's pretty sad compared to the ones I see on here. That being said, I was wondering how long did it take for some of you to get your expy in the shape it is currently in? Also what shape was it in when you got it. Thanks everyone. I really love this forum and all the help it has given me so far.

It depends on how much money you can throw at it and how fast you can do it. At my current rate, it will take me years.

I think I was lucky for a 1997 mine seems to be in pretty good shape. Only thing I have had to do is fixed the radio and replace the air filter and a missing clamp. I may do more still toying with a few aftermarket ideas...
