As far as insurance goes, it's the same with us, it was tiring trying to find an insurance company that would insure a historic truck and not rob you, some didn't even need to respond to inquiries.
I think it is a global response to fraud, and the innocents pay for the rest.

Ever see a parent open a packet of candy, banana for a screaming child in a shop?? Then put the empty container on a shelf before checking out their groceries…..

Yup…..

That is theft, and we pay a premium to replace the stolen goods we never touched.

The van adventure updating and cleaning has begun.
No idea Vince.

It’s dark.

Yes, Grizzification has begun







RESTLESS.


Side glass, great, BUT…..

Security, privacy, Grizzification……

As usual I have/had a few things in mind before even buying the car.

So I ordered dark @95% limo tint for the side glass, and some black vinyl for the small strip of silver between the glass panels.

Only the side glass to go Limo tint, the rear doors will get 35%.

Ideally it gets done on a warm day to help the tint and vinyl relax. So right now may be too much of a hurry.

But I will try later.

Because

May need extra hands to place it on the glass as well.



And my dirtiest of attempts at photoshop.

Just edit with a black marker.

Get the idea?




May or May not get to it today.

Lucky to have loads of other jobs to get done on the Astro and Caddy.
