We all love models of our own vans, and thats what I did. I found the one that closely resembles my van but it was in bad shape. It needed new wheels, windows and bumpers, I was lucky enough to find a new one one ebay that I used for a parts van.

Even has the same license plate and bumper stickers as well as the Bicentennial carpet...

and the same Spirit of 76 painting...

And here is the end result, a new van like mine and a new at&t van with old tires, bumpers and front and back windshields....

Windows- they're what make a van worth owning!

Hahaha, after posting the pics I realized that the "wrap" on the van was in the wrong position. Its supposed to go over the tail lights not above them, so I tried to move the stickers but made a huge mess so I started over and re-sanded and painted it and well its like it should be now.
