HElP need ideas on disabling van A.S.A.P

Hey guys, i need ideas on how to make a ford van not work. this is not my ride, but my family that owns it has been told not to drive anymore. The van still has to run, but only for the use for moving it around. i've tried a wheel lock and he got though that. thanks for any ideas.

well heres the story, gramp just turned 80 and doc says he shouldnt drive anymore. and he's been in 2 acidents in the last 2 years. not that bad, but his fault. heres the thing hes smart enough to fix the terminal cable. so far i took the battery out but he will just buy a new one.

just sifion the gas out hes too old to walk to the station and when you want to move it put alittle gas in it

you can also cut the fuseable link that goes to the battery and tape it back up but dont let the wires touch when you want to move it just connect the wires he'll never notice that they wernt taped up before.

I have used vacume hose to mess with friends, it might work. Replace the coil wire (if it's an old enough van to have a coil) with a short vacume hose of the same size. With the boots on it looks just like the original.

The rotor is the best way, but not as much fun to watch folks try to find.
