I like the side window setup on this van, bay in the front small one at the rear, who else likes it, "vote" windows could be fitted better but just the setup is for the vote...
-
like the whole van ... apart from the wing , looks out of place ,, maybe needs to be lowered :)
-
I agree with the wing, but also with that ugly boxy bonnet scoop. Scoop needed to be rounded, needs to flowwwwwwwwwwww ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

and the scoop is way to small :o :o
may be a sign .. ::) ::)
maybe the owner is small up front but has a big as ass :D :D

I saw a photo once of a swb with normal windows behind the doors, and the vertical windows directly over the rear wheels.
I thought it looked very good.
-
Bit like Davids old van under Daily Post........
-
that window on my old van was perspex Bas, leaked too as the rubbers never softened to the body lines properly, should of recessed it
-
Garry has the recessed rear (side) window and Jeff has the window recessed in side door and smaller in the back

yes that looks good too, but the one I saw was further forward.

Ok thanks guys for the window vote, I would go windowless, but I have a wife and a kid, so If I want them in the van or to use it over the family wagon, I must have seating and the window view for those seats. ???
-
i like little window at front n big one in the back, im 1 of the 2%, lol.
-
Ok, I'm thinking bay at the back, its not as big as Garrys on his bedford, it's about 650x500 and a smaller window up front, the ones I have are 600 long x 400 wide, so they will fit in the rebate.
-
Why not put a cargo door with whatever window you want in and keep your door as is then you can have a windowless van or with half an hrs work you can convert it into a family van
That is what I have done 2 doors 2 looks
-
im planing on paneling in my back windows .. what thickness sheet should i get ?
-
20 gauge
-
keep it windowless, and utilise a custom bench seat for the front, I'll knock one up if you like. Unfortunately thats why i cut bigger windows in mine HUGE regrets!

Thanks Dano, but in NZ >:( besides that, I have the v6 in it and not much foot room in front of the engine cover so a 3rd seat is out....... but know what you mean about windowless, I grew up with these vans around me (below) Ian Knights - Strip Hauler, Roy Bennets? Cosnic Raider and Garry's Windsong, so love the widowless vans, other option is to put the Bay window, that is only 650x500 in the small window rebate behind the cab as it is a Jumbo, won't be inline with the middle seat but will let the light in and would be able to look out it on an angle..... and the rest of the area would remain windowless...
-
I think a window is a window until it's recessed, becomes a bay window. Then it's custom
-
i was thinking about using a electric sunroof that winds down
one on each side would be good for those in the back seats
what is 20 gauge in mill ?
-
From what I have found 20 gauge is a bit of a loose term, but it seems to be almost 1 mm.
Unless you are talking about shot guns, that is.
-
Just ask for 20 GAUGE at the place you get your sheet metal from, if they don't no what you mean, I would get out of there quick........... :D

Hi Guys, what is the best Sealent / Adhesive to use to bond the aluminum framed window to my van, someone suggest Sikaflex MS, anyone got any ideas, Cheers.
-
Polyurethane adhesive is used for body building.
-
GALVSEAL ....waterproof and semi-flexable.....In tubes from hardware shops..... The flooring trade uses it for glueing aluminium noseings to concrete stairs.....I have been told that some motorbody repairers use lots of it....and I use it everywhere I need strength in a join. you can even repair leaks in the exhaust with it.
The problem comes when you need to remove something glued with it.
Can be messy to use and is a grey colour, but paintable.
LOL...this is not spam :D
-
Sikaflex is a polyurethane sealant, as the name implies, it remains permanently elastic.
I used Bostic Matrix FC, which is similar...sandable, paintable, flexible and durable.
Comes in black, $20 a cartridge.

Thanks for that, talked to a Motor Home builder here and they said that is what they use, yes it is a sealent but also states it has good adhesive properties, I know Polyurethane Adhesive are used but some people say that it is better to have it flexable when using it on cars / vans etc as it takes the strees off the window, could always make up a bracket system inside to double hold the frame in.........

Yes have used this before as well, but feel this may not be the best product this time around. Cheers
