That's a nice looking van, love the colour! Is that the one you're going to stick some windows into?

One thing I can recommend is a good tool to hold the glass, something likehttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUCTION-CUP-SINGL ... 45f425a952 or better still, the dual typehttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DUAL-GLASS-CARRIE ... 20b576c719 - preferably two of them.

the centre seat has its own belt so i had to fit the outer belts on to a transit that dod not have holes for belts
i will take it in for a seatbelt instillation test after the bank holiday
i know it will be fine as i have done loads but then i will get a certificate for the ins company if needed
