    That might work fella. I'm just after a window to brighten up the inside and maybe to vent any cooking smells if I put a new interior in.

    you got more chance of a sliding window, to be fair i still think if i was you i'd buy a door with the hole already cut and save the original....... i guess it depends on what you want to spend though.

    i'm agreeing with you dude! i just know more often than not most devons were panel converts as they were cheaper than microbus ones that westy used.

    Bizarre isn't it? I know 3 or 4 people with Devons, none of which are panel conversions!

    let's make it clear..... 'cos i'm easy confused..... you want to put a window in the other side, was it a sliding door or is it a panel - that's why i said earlier was it a slider that had been filled in? eitherway you'll deffo need a panel van window not a microbus one.

    That's a micro bus door rather than a converted panel door.
    Not that that really helps!

    as baysearcher says that door with the window in was originally on a microbus as it's got a recessed window in so the previous owner had the idea to not butcher a panel van door.

    it looks like the filler panel on the rear quarter is off a slider?

    Obviously it's your bus so your decision but I couldn't bring myself to cut that. It looks lovely!

    mines a devon on a kombi it was only some of the late vans than were panel vans as the price of kombi went up.


    I think it went like this



    Panel van = no windows
    Kombi = with windows
    Micro bus = opening rear windows and seats

    Not a purist by any means (seen my bus?) but that panel looks bloody lovely as it is (imho)!
    I'd happily cut a lesser panel.

    i'm no purist either but i do love a panel and can't see why cutting a window in the drivers side (as it's a lhd) will help, if it's that dingy in there and you need more light get a windowed rear door and save your solid one, that way you can always get a panel van slider and refit the rear hatch when you realise panels rock.
