See this pic:

www.novabug.co.uk/PCC01/PCC01_04.html

One problem with it though....the windows are fixed...hence, they can't be wound down!

I posted about this a while back (just after the PCC show at Billing where I saw that GTE) and I got an e-mail form a lad who claimed to know the owner.
He told me that the windows don't wind down, and that the owner would NEVER tell where the glass came from :(

I'm still going to try and do it my self on my old spare door to see if you can make 'em wind down...I've just had soooo many more important things to do!

Some one on here said they were trying to find a way to do it, but no ones mentioned it since :-/

Hello every1. I'm on my m8's username. I can't believe so many people are goin on about my window conversion!

Basically you're all wrong! :p

It is not a Mk1 Astra, or a Peugeot 205, or a Golf Mk2, they're not perspex, and none of you are ever gonna guess.

I told Dave P ages ago but he must have forgot. I was asked at Billing and Trax i think i told a couple of other people just to get them off my back.

Freak, you think u know but you're talkin out ur ass! I'm the original window daddy!

Anyway i sold my GTE bout a month ago. I did have them workin but the manual winder got in the way of the inside door handle.
So i took the winders off while i tried gettin the electric kit, which was what i wanted to start with.
U can't use the original mech u see.

I ran out of time i was 2 busy to finish them off so that's why they weren't working. It is possible to do and it's easier to have them electric than manual cos the mech position isn't as critical.

Right then you lot, all you need to is get yourself down the scrappy and get the windows, whole mechanism and rubber seals out of....

.... oh dear i've ran out of spac

Mine are glass

And yes they are not froma 205, golf or mk 1 astra.
Come and say hi at one of the shows this year and take a look.....you might see that im not talking out of my ass........well-if you remove your head from yours long enough to take a look that is.........

Not only playground attitude but playground language as well :D

I would like to know freak-Im looking at doing another nova sometime,and would maybe go for it if its easy enough-from what I can make out,once u have the glass n that,all u need to do is get the mechs sorted?-surely u need to shorten some of the rubbers etc?

sideskirts soon

David P.....I remember now..... ;)

Bob....you also have to cut away some metal from the door (cross-braces that are under the quarter-lights) to allow the glass to wind down.

I'm still gonna try it on my old door. Someone else will beat me to it though...that's for sure. I've got my cold starting prob to sort first :( Priorities!

Them smelly bits netween the windows have allways rajed me off. The windows look much better as one full unit. Wouldnt mind a set, but

1 - really cant be bothered
2 - got to get my car in one working piece before i worry about them kind of things lol :D

Hello every1 again. i've just seen all the replies since i posted that last message.

I still don't think that freak bloke knows
unless he's the one of the people i told at Billing or at Trax, are U???

Anyway i'll tell u all i want 2 see if any of u can get them working properly.

Rich.dale is right about having 2 cut the channel brackets off, they're only spot welded on so just use a chisel and big hammer.

Anyway the windows are out of a METRO!!!

Remember u need the rubbers and mech's as well. And u heard it from me first O.K?
:D

Well the fact that a metro parks opposite my house every nite and i checked it out ages ago might have something to do with it.

Metro glass isnt the only one you can use though....

You know its pretty obvious once you know...
I was at some traffic lights yesterday and a metro pulled up at the side of me so i looked across and sure enough... the windows are exactly the right size and shape...
obviously i cant say exactly coz from looking form 3 feet away you cant tell that... but def. very near anyway... cant believe nobody could figure it out now.
