The doglegs have been cut out & also the passenger floor but we forgot to get the repair panels beadblasted as they are powder coated.....so
hopefully the beadblasters can squeeze us in over the next couple of days.....

Wow..that looks pretty neat...what are they working on here? Is the angle giving them better access to that side they are on?
Mandie give us a pic of the other side where that big window was cut out on the panel...can they put window pillars in so you can go for a more
standard window? Have they given you any ideas at the workshop?

All the windows are not standard Jen.....I'll see if i've got a photo of the big one though.I don't mind them....makes it a little different but
just might make it harder to get some sought of popouts installed,if you know what i mean.I think i need to have at least one of the back windows open
just for fresh air if you're travelling in the back.I don't want it to go back to a panel either so we'll see what i can do!!:thumb |

Can they put a pillar/s in to fit two or three more of pop out windows... ?...or at least the same size so you can swap them over when you find
some?
Is that other window you have a standard size on that side?
Here's an old splittie pic I found...

From this angle that window looks about the same size as the sliding windows in a caravelle. if you measure it up someone might check it with their
caravelle window. mine doesn't have the slider but I think it is the same size.
