Wondering if the nova van rear pannels (that replace the back windows) can be purchased from anywhere other than 2nd hand?

i had thought about making them, but arent the original ones pressed, so they sit further out? (ie flush with the bodywork, rather than sunk in like yours chambers?)

the ones above look fine to me.. you could make them from some thickish plastic sheet, fit them in the window seals & paint over the finished result very easily.

there sunk in about 3mm mate just so i could tack them in to hold the sheet then i welded them on the inside and put a bar at the back for strength. they look gen and its cheep to do u would end up waiting years or paying loads to find the real thing mate. just give it a go if u dont like them just cut them back out and put window back in till u find sum.
