Security issues

Back doors & front sliders

Hmmm. How to make it secure...

I'd notice the back doors had become a bit fatigued at the bottom and were liable for crow-barring off if someone had the audacity to break into her.

Down the metal merchants for some thick alu. Removing the back handle, and coachbolting some thick alu at the bottoms of the doors, either side should give the doors strength and the pop-riveted lock cover should deter the odd opportunist.

It means i can only open the doors from the inside, but it's no real bother. i might take the passenger seat out to give a better 'doorway' into the back. not sure yet.

The plates will be very subtle and shouldn't detract from it's 80's design too much.
I've marked the locations with some arrows just in case. lol. childish i know. hehe



Gotta see 'the lock man' sometime soon to see what i can do to bump up the security at the front end now :)

Oh, found out today it's only liable for tax exemption if it's being used as an ambulance still.. Even after i suggested it would be a part-time ambulance for transporting ill relatives and friends to the doctors. Bloody money-grabbing government. As if the price of petrol doesn't cover our road use alone! Grrrr
