Discussion in 'Restorations' started by popout, Sep 21, 2012.

  1. Well, its supposed to be Neptune blue o_O but looks too grey for that. Not a problem as the whole van was sprayed, but if I had bought the paint for matching I would have been a little miffed ;)
    But like the colour as it happens :thumbsup:
     
  2. I'll be painting mine in neptune blue when the time comes, i like it mate:thumbsup:
     
  3. Put the side windows back in ....what a pig of a job that was :mad: Put the louvre window in on Friday which went in quite easy, the rear window didn't!! After a lot of swearing and throwing my toys out of the pram I had to walk away :rolleyes: Ive put loads of windows in and all sorts of cars before, the problem was on the non factory window seals they bend outwards on all the corners. So after leaving it for a while I had a think and decided to make some small hooks which I hooked on the inside of the seal, tied some string to the hook and pulled the seal back so it was in the right position and tied the string to something to keep it in place. Did that on all 4 corners and the glass went in ok...ish lol. Did the other rear side one the same and went in easy :thumbsup:

  4. I hate putting windows in so i feel your pain dude
     
  5. Took me a while to get my rear windows in on my own did get the window screen in too was tight though
     
  6. Got the joy of that to come lol...Got the cab headlining to go in first :thumbsup:
     
  7. Doh.... Just had a thought, put the opening louvre window above the Fridge flue :rolleyes: Looks like ive got to take it out and put the fixed window there and the louvre one in the sliding door.
    I can remember something in the gas regs about being 300mm from an opening window, does anyone know if it that applies to the fridge flue?

    Ive read through the installation manual and cant see anything about the flue and opening windows being mentioned?
     
  8. That's the Devon finished......
