Fiddly sh*t that tint film I get miss bjt to do it
if I do it it ends up more wrinkley than a gurkas foreskin


Yeah, Im not looking forward to it much. Been reading the how to bit on the forum. Bought the good stuff. So will have to see how it goes. Not going to attempt it today as I pick the little Montys up at 3 and I have a fridge full of Carlsberg Export to aid the smooth running of the rest of the afternoon.
Best have a go tomorrow, completely sober and with out my little helpers.

Spare hour or so today so I thought I would get my Swivel on

Few problems. Handbrake has to come off to swivel. ( but I was prepaired for that from reading other threads )
Steering wheel also gets in the way a bit ( did I read somewhere you can get a snap off steering wheel and boss for Transits ? )

And how do they tidy up the bases of the seats in the campers ? This looks bloody awful

Thanks Dave, I did see your thread 8)
Bit im struggling with is getting behind the overlap on my sliders. Going to have another attempt in the morning when the little Montys are at school.
Going to try with a credit card as I can't get in with the squeegie thingy.

Im done. They look ok. But unfortunately there is a noticeable strip where I couldn't get to. If I was to do it again I would pull the windows to bits. But may take it to a professional next time. :lol:

As good as its going to get.
You can see the strip that caused me all that grief. Left it in the end. Looks a bit odd, but a small price to pay for my sanity

Just realised I have had the van for a year and a half now, and have achieved just a bit more than bugger all :oops:
Only really thought about this as my w*** next door neighbour was farting about with his fishing gear this morning when I got back from work. ( This guy washes his cars 3 times a week, so a dirty car really pisses him off. And the Transit is now pretty much green )
" What are you doing with the transit ? "
" Not a lot today "
" Well I am washing my cars with the pressure washer once I have unloaded the fishing gear "
" of Course you are, Ive just worked a 13 hour night shift and there is nothing like a pressure washer going at full chat for 2 hours to aid restful sleep"
" Its a Sunday, I cant alter my life just because you work stupid hours "
( w*** has a point there )
" Whats your point ? "
" I was going to give you van a wash and see what colour it really is "
" You bloody wont, I will wash my van when I am good and ready. And I aint ready "
" Its an eyesore "
" Your fence is an eyesore, do something about that and I will wash my van"
" I cant afford that "
" Well thats buggered the van washing then "
" You are such a ........."
Enter Mrs Monty.
" Morning "
" Alright "
" Morning "

" What was he going on about ?"
" Transit is green and he wanted to wash it "
" you are doing it on purpose arent you "
" No I just havent had time to do anything, its madbris fault "
" You are not blameing folks of that forum, get a bit of inspiration and get on "
" Can I have some money then ? "
" There is a couple of hundred quid in the pot for Bathroom fund, you can have that "

So I have a 200 shekels to progress the Transit. And I aint got a clue what to do with it. Maybe I will just buy a load of export and see where I get when I am drunk.
Thing is I dont know what to do next........ HELP

Working on that Bri, haven't got a weekend off for a while, and half term week this week so I have little Montys running amuck. It would seem time is the greatest enemy rather than money.
