Will do, Captn. Van is 30 years old this year. Seems like just yesterday I first saw an Astro leaving the U.S. Air-force base at Alconbury UK,,, but it was actually 1985. Been besotted ever since !!!

Re: Astro van and their owner's retirements..kinda quiet
Hi, I can only speak from my own perspective, south-west of London, England. But it seems to me the Astro/safari forums (U.S & U.K.) are all quieter than a few years ago. I think many 'general' members may have moved on to other, more recent vehicles. This leaves Astrosafari quieter, but with mo...

Re: Astro"88"LT-RS 262cu.in. Surrey U.K. (LT with hint of
No, We don't change the steering to RHD. With a bit of practice driving LHD isn't much of a problem. Some insurance companies like the driver to have previous experience tho'. I'm not sure about in Oz, there might be rules about it. I understand even lowering suspension isn't allowed down there! So ...

Thanks for your posts, everyone. I had wondered how my van would have been received by U.S. AstroSafari'ers. My baby is pretty rough compared to many on your side of the Atlantic, ,,but I love her !! Of course I'd be down the JY every weekend searching for bits and pieces to make her look and feel m...

Re: Rear Quarter Window Swap
Yea, Thanks, Rebel, for that info. I assumed the black rubbery plastic surround (visible from outside) was actually the part that held the window in place. Totally wrong then ! Getting that outer trim off without damage might be quite a task. When (if) I get around to doing this job I'll post a coup...

Re: Rear Quarter Window Swap
Good question. I would like to know how to remove the rear quarter window glass without breaking it ! I'd guess the rubber seal is gently levered away from the metalwork (from inside the van) with a couple of blunt flat screwdrivers,,,,,,,, 'CRACK'. Anyone know the best way ????
