Repairing rusty windows

[Pepperami]

I have just spent four days repairing my rusty windows getting from this



To this


If there is enough interest from people wanting to know how to do this i would gladly write up a step by step guide with pictures. Just let me know.

[Fozzie]

Oh, yes please. Will have to tackle mine before the Summer's out.

[windysurfer]

go on then, just to be noisy

[umgum]

thats nothing check mine out

[Pepperami]

I shall keep my 95 pictures to myself then and leave it to the pro's.

[A KIRK]

Na we need more pics, as I have a window to do soon on mine

[Pepperami]

[ricicles]

looks great now tony
the pics from umgum were caravelle windows i think, i rekon they are a lot harder to repair than our panel vans. one advantage for us there then. this in no way detracts from the work you,ve done. when can i come and have a proper look?

[Pepperami]

It's a piece of pi$$ caravelle windows are probably easier. Especially when re fitting windows.

[windysurfer]

come on the Peps let see some pictures then.
Some before you started pictures would be handy, just to see what we can expect when we start picking away at that little rust bubble.

[Pepperami]

It doesn't look too bad. I will start a new thread tommorrow.



On the right hand corner is my emergency repair.

[quagmire]

well done mate

[weerickyni]

whats the difference between caravelle and conversion windows?

[Pepperami]

Basically van window are just cut out of a van, carravelle windows are done in the factory.

thats nothing check mine out

Factory windows have a curve.

Van windows are straight cut out of a van. I hope this helps.
