My Montana
 

Hola,
I have been searching for a winter DD for about 6 months. Was looking for almost anything AWD or 4x4. Could not find anything in my price range so my parents gave me their Montana that my younger sister has been driving for a few years.
Basically its a POS. Has issues everywhere you look. But its free so I can't complain.

Issues:
-Radio display does not work (I know its common)
-Fuel gauge doesn't work (common)
-Heat/AC works from setting 3-5. 1 and 2 do nothing (common)
-Driver window does not work, passanger window barely works, I wont touch these in fear of them not going back up
-Foggy super weak headlights
-Key fob does not work at all, should be an easy fix
-Rear drivers light has been backed into something so it's broken (but working)
-Grill insert thing falling off
-Random CEL with random warning messages
-Car smells like smoke (all kinds, retarded sister)
-Dirty everywhere from all sorts of fluids (dirty sister)
-Back windows do not open, button does nothing
-Biggest problem. Car battery dies constantly. battery and alternator have been replaced. If I don't drive the car for a day, it needs a jump. This really sucks because I need this car to get to and from work

So far the only mods done to this thing are the baby seat, I have cleaned it since taking these pics (will post later), new wipers, new headlight bulbs (not installed yet), and I got some rusty alero rims which I spray painted red for snow tires which I picked up (have not been mounted yet)

I think if most of these minor issues are fixed and it decides to start working properly this thing could be a god winter DD. I even tried looking for a thunder version of this van and an aztek. But no luck.

Anyways I will post more pictures as I do stuff to this thing.

I might order some cheap HID kit. I haven't installed the bulbs yet but I dont think they will be very bright we will see. I'm supposed to get the snow tires mounted today but they awe only open until 1:30 and its snowing. So they are busy. Maybe tomorrow.
