I have tinted all the windows. BUT I have used some first class tint. Its called 3M Crystalline and if you compare it to a factory tint on a modern car you can actually not see the difference. This is due to the fact that the 1973 windows are completely untinted whereas the modern car windows are a 70-90 % tint from factory. The 3M product is expensive but really discrete and nice. Around 60% heat rejection without getting the gang-banger look
The rules are unclear in regards to modifications. I know that mounting a new box on the back is a clear violation. I also know that changing the engine or the complete cabin would be a violation. But it is all very fuzzy. Danish tax laws are pretty insane on that matter.
I am doing a quick-n-dirty rebuild on the inside of the box. Just 500l diesel tanks and 100l water and some storage and a small kitchen and finally the toilet. No accomodation in the back.
The front is very easy to use. The benches are lined towards each other so with some plywood boards that can be laid in between, we have a 170x205cm bed. Simple and good. Also serves as daily hangout and eating area with a height-foldable RV table.
On the very positive side I have an 8 year period between regulatory inspections (MOD/TÜV) and there are some other benefits (and restrictions) as well.
The siren looks like a standard truck siren so I hope that no-one will give me a hard time about it.
I will try to shoot some pics tomorrow. Too dark now :-)
