Dont supose there is anyone out there doing a window suround repair panel

Panel van or factory window?

Either bodycut or make your own.

Its an Auto sleeper conversion so do know its origin. will it have been a panel van to start with then windows added?
Looks like ill be cutting it out and fabbin some panels to weld in.

If it is a panel van conversion the rubbers will sit proud of the metal. If its a factory window they are recessed into the panel. If your stuck post a picky. If you need a piece for a factory window i have a frame i use for repairs so i could cut you a bit off.

There's a window or 2 repaired in this one somewhere (if yours was a panel van) Jon.

Thanks for that link . From what I can see then mine is a panel van with added windows. I can see that my grinder and welder are gonna be getting some action very soon. Would it be worth doing a thread with all the jobs im doing or is it a subject thats been done to death already. I dont want to bore folk. Whilst im on about the windows who is the cheapest supplier of new window rubbers.( call me a typical yorkshire man )

done to death ... but no harm in posting your progress, we're all nosey.

And some nosier than others

Ok youve twisted my arm. Some of you might know its previous owner, Phred. If nothing else id like him see his old bus get a new lease of life;-). Having got started with the poking and proding of the panels I reckon that given another year or two things would have got realy nasty. As it is, I think ill manage to sort it and hopefully it will give Andrea, the dogs and me some good holidays . Ps the bus is gonna be called Jambo, if you wanna know why ask phred;-)
