Cracking job Nath, looking good enough for the girls we date. I'd say they are better being a little stiff and will bed in over time. Enjoy the van meet 🙏👍
Absolutely love this van, great to see the process, you do make it all look a lot easier then it actually is. Hope you realise the talent and skills that you poses. Great to see. Thank You.
Kudos to you mate that's one job that I would not tackle. You did a good job. Ever thought of fitting a reverse camera. I saw a transporter the other day but it had the usual barn doors and the camera was fitted just under the vw badge .It looked not too bad.
I used the exact same windows, even brought them back home on the plane to Australia. Fitted myself, also first time but not as clean as your job. Wrestled with the knock on trim as well. They did leak to start with around the knock on edge but I sealed from the inside and have been perfect since. I like them as super dark and good for privacy.
Hey Bud blimey that’s dedication to take them home on a plane 👍 hopefully my little tips about the trim etc help people as the few vids I wanted it never mentioned them. I like a dark window to 🙏👍
that reminded me of me doing mine on my van. I cant tell you how much I was bricking it, knowing if I cut wrong- specially the sliding door- I was looking at an expensive fix. I cut mine out using a nibbler which was brilliant to use. I must admit, i'd not given thought to doing dummy rear windows but I love the look on yours and it deffo makes the bus look way longer. I didnt get my windows from trade glass. I got them from another place and Id rather have the glass locks on yours. On my van I made some fancy blinds but on the siding door one, the glass latch is in the middle of the glass at the leading edge and sticks out three inches and the blinds catch going up and down I have thought about cutting an inch or so of the plastic so the blind slides up and down- though for the price you paid for the front glass, I might just get a single sliding glass panel with the different latch. Loving the build up of the bus. That paintwork is gorgeous. I cant wait to see your conversion. Much respect- Kenny
Vans looking mint, nice glass. don't forget to tell your insurance about the windows, its not a commercial vehicle any more so you should get it cheaper now, that's what i told mine for the caddy and the £££ came down 👍
Ah yea mine are factory side sliding windows on both sides and leak a lot so I was glad you only put one slider in! Looking forward to the next DTE live 👍
Hey bro thank you mate 👍 I wouldn’t know what to feed a lizard or an iguana, I wouldn’t know what spiders like to eat or anything of a similar nature. We just have different skill sets, yours are just as good to 🙏👍
Absolutely loving this build mate, even been lucky enough to see it in person. Can't wait for the next video on the interior. 😊 keep up the awesome work, matey 👍 ah yea
Looking good, with the paint showing through the gap between the glass, some videos show running a strip of black vinyl before installing the glass so you can't see any paint colour, as others have said you needed to leave a small gap at the bottom when running the adhesive round to allow any moisture/condensation build up behind the glass to drain out, It's coming together very well indeed. 👍
Turned out very well. I cut off the tip of the adhesive cartridge at a 5 degree angle and smoothed the edges of the cut surface with a lighter. This will give you perfect, triangular beads of glue that stay in place. 5 degrees because you pull the cartridge gun at about that angle. By smoothing the tip you avoid chattering when pulling the adhesive bead. Congratulations on passing the MOT!
Van is looking great, you should be extremely proud of yourself. Definitely pop some black paint between the windows, just mask up and use a brush. Got to admit I’m belt and braces, so the morning after I fitted my windows I masked up around the windows and ran tiger seal along the top and sides to make sure they weren’t going anywhere and didn’t leak.
Hey mate thank you 🙏👍 I absolutely love the touran seat to Vw done such a great job designing them. Hopefully you like the next video about the seats in the T5 👍
great job on the windows, could tell you were apprehensive about fitting the first one but it looks mint .. the transformation of this van is nothing short of astounding. keep it up. inspirational stuff, im looking at transporters now .....
Epic video mate, happy days on the mot ay dude nd really didn't know they were fake windows at the back mate, looks really epic in the metal so to say lol nd great job with the windows mate nd them colours r perfect dude 100% top work, top job, top man well bloody done mate epic😎
Watching you hand pumping that sealant gun, I was thinking “I’m sure Foxy has an air powered one”. So annoying when you can’t find the right tool. I spend half my spare time looking for my stuff (often not finding it) to do simple jobs!
The T5 is looking really good Nathan what a journey it has been so far. Can't wait to see what the interior will turn out like! Best of luck mate with it! Aw yeah.
Looks great, I always think you shouldn't fully seal around a dummy window, leave a gap at the bottom, so the air pressure can vent when it warms up. You can also drill a hole through the panel behind the glass so it can vent.
Windows look superb Nathan, its not a bad thing that they are a bit stiff to open with the kids being in the back and so pleased you put googles on, I could watch you grinding with squinting, are yeah. 👍
@@nicksmeaton5162 hey nick I used to be a Ford guy 👍 had rs turbos, cosies and loads of escorts etc I just got tired of rust. Moved over to the Vw’s and I really like them but don’t tell the Ford guys. I appreciate the feedback and support towards the channel 🙏👍
Another job that I’d thought of doing myself if I built my own next time …I’m not surprised you were apprehensive on the first one given how good the paint looks - but smashed it …without smashing the critical bit. Looks properly good 👍🏻
@@Weirdwebbie58when you shut the doors the vacuum pushes the windows out after a few months the lacquer breaks away from the basecoat and they start leaking
Amazing job! Van looks the nuts fair play. I’ve not tried this yet but my old T5’s previous owner put too much adhesive on the bottom and blocked the drains on the sliding window. It leaked badly so he had to reinstall another window. I doubt that will happen to you though. Perfect job 👍
Really impressed with the way things are progressing on the van Nathan it is looking like a million dollars👌
Love it, best T5 build series on YT.
Hey Steven thank you mate 👍 super appreciate that 🙏
Another epic mod on this van, cannot believe it’s the same van! Damn you Nath - really making me feel like I have no choice but to buy one 😭
Great job,enjoy your time in London to see the lights.👍✅🇬🇧🍺
Carnt believe how much the windows changed the look of the van brilliant job mate 😊😊
Cracking job Nath, looking good enough for the girls we date. I'd say they are better being a little stiff and will bed in over time. Enjoy the van meet 🙏👍
Nice job Nathan can not believe it’s the same van you picked up with all those problems looking forward to the next video ❤
money well spent Nathan that's made it look like a 20k truck mate,nice 👍happy days
That colour combination is exactly to my choice , fabulous. 😊
Hey bud thank you glad you like the colours I’m really happy with it 🙏👍
Van coming along really well, windows look amazing, keep up the good work 👍💪
Thank you mate 🙏👍
Absolutely love this van, great to see the process, you do make it all look a lot easier then it actually is. Hope you realise the talent and skills that you poses. Great to see. Thank You.
Windows look awesome mate...the dummy glass finishes it off...exellent content and tutorial as always🫡

Kudos to you mate that's one job that I would not tackle. You did a good job. Ever thought of fitting a reverse camera. I saw a transporter the other day but it had the usual barn doors and the camera was fitted just under the vw badge .It looked not too bad.
The colour scheme and the blacked out windows looks superb dude. Entertaining as per usual. Ah ye!
Hey mate thank you really appreciate that, I’m super happy with it 🙏👍
I never follow peoples projects but must say best channel on TH-cam IMO, I even followed the mk6-7 Transit guide 😅
Hey Luca 👍 oh man blown away by your comment sir thank you for the comment and support glad you enjoy the videos 🙏👍
Ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no river wide enough for you DT, cracking job

Hey mate thank you 🙏👍 I absolutely love the touran seat to Vw done such a great job designing them. Hopefully you like the next video about the seats in the T5 👍
great job on the windows, could tell you were apprehensive about fitting the first one but it looks mint .. the transformation of this van is nothing short of astounding. keep it up. inspirational stuff, im looking at transporters now .....

Hey B-RY oh man and guess what, the day after I abused my wrists pumping the sealent gun foxy found the cap to his air one 🙈😂👍
Well mate proper job cheers 🏴
The T5 is looking really good Nathan what a journey it has been so far. Can't wait to see what the interior will turn out like! Best of luck mate with it! Aw yeah.
Thank you mate really appreciate that 🙏👍
Looks great, I always think you shouldn't fully seal around a dummy window, leave a gap at the bottom, so the air pressure can vent when it warms up. You can also drill a hole through the panel behind the glass so it can vent.
Hey bud a few people have said the same I’ll drill a hole on the metal inside 👍 thank you
Windows look superb Nathan, its not a bad thing that they are a bit stiff to open with the kids being in the back and so pleased you put googles on, I could watch you grinding with squinting, are yeah. 👍
Got zero interest in either caddy’s or transporters but always enjoy your videos keep up the good work. 👍🏼👍🏼
Hey nick thank you mate glad you still watch them that means a lot 🙏👍
@@YTDTETV I’m a ford guy, just like the actual realness of your videos pal, not like some of these scripted ones on YT.
@@nicksmeaton5162 hey nick I used to be a Ford guy 👍 had rs turbos, cosies and loads of escorts etc I just got tired of rust. Moved over to the Vw’s and I really like them but don’t tell the Ford guys. I appreciate the feedback and support towards the channel 🙏👍
Mint i would drive that van all day everyday
Thanks Darren appreciate that mate I’m super happy with it 🙏👍
Van is comeing on very nice
Thanks Chris 👍
Another job that I’d thought of doing myself if I built my own next time …I’m not surprised you were apprehensive on the first one given how good the paint looks - but smashed it …without smashing the critical bit. Looks properly good 👍🏻
Hey bud thank you 🙏👍 as me and my mate where carrying the windows to the van the smashing part did cross my mind 😩😂👍
I used to be a windscreen fitter & you’ve done a real professional job,nice work,top video 👍🏻
So did I and you never bond on new paint especially lacquer
You can bond to new paint as long as it’s been baked at a high enough temperature
@@Weirdwebbie58when you shut the doors the vacuum pushes the windows out after a few months the lacquer breaks away from the basecoat and they start leaking
Hey bud thank you super appreciate that 👍 I watched a few videos and watched my windscreen guys a few times so had half an idea 👍👍
Amazing job! Van looks the nuts fair play. I’ve not tried this yet but my old T5’s previous owner put too much adhesive on the bottom and blocked the drains on the sliding window. It leaked badly so he had to reinstall another window. I doubt that will happen to you though. Perfect job 👍
Looks fantastic, some people carpet line the inside before installing the trim as it hides the edge
God job though 😊
Hey Neil thank you 👍I did think about that but wernt ready for the inside bits 👍
