What's the point in painting and fitting them if i'm cutting the van up and turning it in to a 13 window camper then it'll NEED REPAINTING in a TWO better colours

at least the beige will act as a good guide coat

The window panels have turned up.

The first 2 appertures will be used on the O/S



And the 3rd (which needs some work) will be cut off and used for the other side to make up the 4th apperture




And the row of 3 for the N/S...






I'm gonna try and get the O/S done this weekend and the other side through the week ready for CTTP..

errrr mate not being funny but they are in the wrong colour nice one dude....this van will look slick as fook
