So with winter interfering with some of the projects and progress of my random toys including selling some to make space, well, to regain space, rain, cold, storms have distracted me.
So back to the Astro van, which is still a “keeper” unless someone else wants it more than me.
33 years old and in amazing condition overall and only done 78k registered miles means that I have to look after it and continue to improve it.
One of a multitude of challenges and repairs I want to affect is replacing the expensive rear door seals.
Original reproductions are available. But when you add US Taxes, import duty, shipping and then UK VAT to it the expensive $340.90 base price, increases to an eye watering total.
So getting a look at alternatives makes sense but unlikely to happen.
Current status is as per pics below.
Certainly not fully sealed anymore it allows condensation to build as well.
This does not reduce the value but makes me want to improve it.
So now I need a suitcase space and baggage allowance in order to make it more affordable.
What we need.
Always money headed out ehhh.
But worth doing??
