James,
Looks good.
I need to do this with mine, what thickness did you use for the blank?
Cheers

Cut a full panel out of another van, so its same thickness and the slight curve is in it, if you did it in sheet steel it would look wrong!

What bit of the window that was left inside the van (had a cupboard half way) we never used and had a bit of silver screen allways on it so with the rust round the edges thought balls to it and took the window out !

The rust would have needed sorting all along the bottom of the window apature, and some of the trim panel clips were rusted out too so lot easier to replace the lot!

Re: Finally had a day welding on the van!
Like it!
Probably easier than trying to weld in new steel to fix a rotten aperture, and then getting the window back in?
