  • The 2018 Promaster city project gets finished and gets put to work. There is some mechanical work to do as well as putting it back together after it has been painted. I have been driving this for a little while now and it is very useful. I actually like driving it. We'll see if I still like it when it is time to fix it. Luckily it won't need and repairs for a while and oil changes on these are easy!

    Slightly amused that the 2.4 is considered to give good gas mileage, here in Europe on the Fiat version of this van we get a 1.3 diesel that gets 60mpg, and you rarely see a petrol van or a 2.4 anything these days, Hard to believe Europe and USA share a planet sometimes :)

    I literally picked up a '19 promaster for my radio shop; haven't done anything with it.... but, my console looks completely different - probably to clear the rear partition.... I also don't have sound deadening on my inner rear fenderwells; which is kinda weird -- but mine isn't the SLT trim. (The only trim!) i also found that the non SLT trim does not have the 'trigger' style volume/channel controls behind the steering wheel (backside of the wheel) which seems dumb, as half the controls are on the front of the keypad already..... but, i do agree, it's a zippy fun little go-kart.

    Scott, I see you're a fan of Andrew Camarata judging by your interior part adjustment tool. Nice touch.
    Final vehicle looks great. Enjoyed following you along on this build. What's next? A daily driver for the Afternoon Crew?

    Scott's using the 1" impact. You've been hanging around Jiffy Lube again!
