Hi guys picked up a t/T3 (new to this) last month as i found out there easy to fit 3 point seat belts in not much bigger then a family  car etc etc wondering if you could help me out with a few questions i have 

so i bought it because it was local ish and i had a way of getting it back to mine i didn't how ever look up how much some of the bits cost Shocked or even if you can get said bits Embarrassed 



my biggest problem is round the windows can you get a panel with out buying the hole panel 
3 of the windows are like this one in the picture is by far the worst 

also could some one tell me what make it is i have spent a wile on google looking at others trying to work it out Embarrassed here she is 

at the moment i have it up for sale as i have got lots to get finished before i can make a start so wile its sat on the drive way thought i put it on gum tree (this is not a plug)
tonight how ever i had my little girl chatting about it and other family members have bought her cards with a camper on it a fridge magnet etc and she really seams to like it over all the other car's offroaders etc she see's/we have so here i am doing some more home work and asking can you get a repair panel from the waste line up as all i've found is the hole panel or the wrong half 
also being honest i am starting to like it more the more time it spends sitting about (not sure my neighbors feel the same LOL )



thanks for any advice going to have a look round the forum for some tips and ideas now

Not too sure about actual replacement panels but if your handy with the mig and grinder it shouldn't be too hard to fab something up if panels aren't available.

That's just flat steel. They arent factory windows so an easy repair.

get some more pics up buddy! looks about right for a panel van conversion.yours would of been a panel van before it was converted as the windows arn't flush. caravelles have windows from the factory so have propper recesses to fit them into. most rot out (like yours) as there painted once as soon as there cut then water gets in between the seals and sits along sides and bottom. as said easy enuf repair if your handy with a sparkler
