What did he charge for supply and fit for the 2 Windows pal? if you don't mind me asking.

[@thetalonsofwaynechiang]

Hi Paul. Sorry for being cheeky here as it’s on a separate topic, but do you know if the guys who make the Stormin Norman Cones have gone out of business? I can’t find their website on Google anymore and all the links to their website I’ve found just produce an error message. Cheers.

[@PaulMessner]

@@thetalonsofwaynechiang Norman has sadly passed away. The only other options I’ve seen similar are the caldera cone or speedster stoves.

[@thetalonsofwaynechiang]

@@PaulMessner Ahhhh, that’s very sad news. Thanks for the FAST reply and the other alternative options, much appreciated, and I’ll check them out👍 Loving the van vids by the way - very interesting to see how a van conversion is actually done. Can’t wait to see how you deck it out inside, especially with the storage and space saving elements you use. Thanks again Paul👍

[@houstonbodie7062]

i realize I am kind of off topic but does anyone know a good site to watch newly released movies online ?

[@awatt]

I wouldn't care how much it costs when someone like Darren, who obviously knows what he's doing and takes pride in his work, does the job.

[@Photoshotgun]

Surely you would have a limit though? 🤔

[@darren-lewis]

@@sc825 If the van was ready for me to drive away immediately after that kind of payment I'd consider that a fair deal :)

[@exiletsj2570]

"Glass for vans" now that's a no nonsense, Northern company name.

[@marcomcdowell8861]

Definitely a gentleman who knows his craft.

[@MisterTeach]

Looking like a camper already! 👍

[@bluemonkey227]

Been fitting windscreens for many years now and can 100% say this lad knows what he’s doing. Nice work.

[@johncarroll7585]

The 'take-away' from this video is to get in the professionals for windows like that :-) What an amazing transformation to the appearance of the van!

[@RamblingOn]

There is no way I could have taken a saw to the van 😂 I hope Darrens kids enjoy the video, completely transformed the van. Nice day for it too 👍

[@Nobby77]

Proper milestone getting the windows in

[@davidfisher345]

I need to admit that I want, need and require a campervan now !

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

I'm selling one.

[@gilbert7794]

I think you made the right decision on getting a pro to fit windows as they have the special tools and experience

[@luckybuccaneer]

I love watching pros doing stuff like this. Mesmerised just watching how straight the glue lines are; mine would like someone chucked spaghetti at it.

[@milcotto4153]

My Hiace came with two sliding doors with windows in them that you can open. And it is 4WD. Can't get them anymore here. They stopped selling them around 2012, I believe. The only thing they didn't come with, as far as I know, was a high roof. Other than that, it has everything I need. At one point in time I went camping in it with three dogs in cages. They are not making vans like that now. They should...Your van is looking good with the new windows. A wise move to have them professionally fitted. You don't want them to fall out :-)

[@nikospapageorgiou57]

This van is slowly turning into a luxurious hotel suite!

[@Amack1966]

Definitely getting Darren in to do it was the right thing, not to be attempted by the feint hearted. Looks awesome!

[@jeffwallace957]

I have screwed up enough projects to know that it's worth paying a professional to do it right. That van looks awesome. Thank you for sharing

[@daviemaclean61]

Worth every penny. With the best will in the world I don't think any amateur could match that job. Nice

[@Rajamak]

Love it when folk make tricky tasks look easy. I’m almost fooled into thinking I could attempt this myself.

[@a3s1r1986]

That's a really good job. I'd never believe he did it at the side of the road if you didn't make the video.

[@GOBBYBOY333]

Always use the professionals it pays off in the end.

[@101straker]

Being in the building trade we always say "it's every person to there trade" sure people can try it themselves but he certainly knew his job and executed it perfectly. Top job. So excited for this van build.

[@keenymeeny2]

Some can opener he's got. Good to see the progress. Well since I last commnented I had a wee heart attack , so now even more determined to enjoy the great outdoors again. Best wishes.

[@oddmanout98]

I can see it now, coming soon to an eBay store near you, several tents and wild camping gear for sale. “Selling due to an upgrade”. Lol. Nice project there Paul. And great workmanship from Darren too! Atb Paul.

[@markgibbons4938]

Loved watching that guy fit the windows. The van is looking good you two.

[@pm1104]

Great idea to get the guy in......well worth the money......great job done !

[@theronin365]

The "Mes-Mobile is coming on nicely.

[@Gunrunner4532]

Great job! Sometimes you are money ahead just hiring a professional. Have a great day.

[@daveh5154]

How steady are his hands putting that adhesive on..!! Windows look totally mint Paul..👍..

[@callumcraig3664]

Think you made the right choice getting professional to do the windows , he made it look easy but I’m sure it isn’t as easy and one small mistake either cutting or bonding window into place could spell disaster and expensive to fix . White camper van man is getting closer to it’s first trip , now all you need to do is practice your aggressive driving and swearing 😂👍

[@AndreasHontzia]

0:28 Huge Mr. Bean flashback. Sorry, but this is so good!

[@711honved]

Each to his own Paul, you made a good choice in getting a pro in to fit the glass. A lovely job, which makes the van look a million dollars!

[@parkin8595]

I bet everyone will be asking for Darren. Great to see things done properly and built to last. If only every service came like this.

[@michaelleigh2446]

C,mon Paul geron with it. we're all waiting.

[@MuddyDuck...]

Getting the windows done professionally was a good move - as they look like they came with the van.👍 Now you can get stuck into the exciting phase of your van build, and more paper modelling for Jo...

[@Travelling_about]

Fitted my own not as hard as it looks but always wise to get the pros in if in doubt

[@brad30]

Good professional workmanship 👍

[@b.g.3905]

its like a Monster electric canopener .. I want one ;D

[@Brurgh]

those windows look bostin!

[@beatfarmerfan]

I think you made the right choice going with a professional install Paul. He did a great job. I don’t think you have to worry about those windows falling out on some bumpy dirt road.👍

[@DesGreene]

And let there be light! He didn't mess about that guy, did he? 👍 Looks brilliant Paul!

[@Wheres_wanda_wandering]

What a difference, it’s looking good. I think you made the right choice to get a professional in.

[@fucktheworld1207]

Darren / fellow scouser knows his stuff 👌🏻👏🏻👌🏻

[@fightington]

what a brilliant vid, see how pros do it and decide if want to diy or not but no amateur mistakes that are in other vids with most things

[@MichaelB-pf8xx]

Best get the pro in. Cool

It’s getting there, enjoying these videos 👍

[@stevejeffery4951]

Hiya, I’ve recently bought a blank canvas that I intend to convert into a camper. To be honest I don’t really know where to start so I’ve been watching various videos. I’ve just come across your build and I’ve watched three of your videos already today and I’ve decided to go back to the beginning and follow your conversion before doing anything. I love your presentation and enthusiasm and would recommend you to anyone planning to take on a conversion. Thank you and all the best, Steve.

[@mustang774]

Wow that looks great. Good plan letting a pro do that part of the build. He made a difficult job look easy....... Take care, Bluefin.

[@johnhall3877]

Money well spent! I can’t believe how excited I am seeing you do this!

[@rosanneennis725]

Starting to look like a shop bought one now. Keep going guys 👍

[@benjaminzac_Man_Wi_A_Tan]

Lovely jubbly. Nice job Darren. Agree Paul get the professionals in to do the tricky stuff. It’s coming along nicely so far. ATB.

[@GeoterricsOutdoorsAustralia]

Great job Darren - and Paul - nice to see out!

[@paulchapman7684]

[@stumpymacgabhann]

Nice choice of window. She's looking good.

[@jeffreywinter2660]

Good to watch a great tradesman at work, a good professional job well done.

[@donaldmichaellumsden2714]

Very Dapper Paul . Can't wait to see the finished job. Mike.

[@richardburton5485]

Looking very smart

[@AggyGoesOutdoors]

Seriously Paul, all you needed was the tin opener from the kitchen drawer and jobs a good un 👏🏼🤣😊 Gotta say, that fella made that look like a piece of piss, we all know it isn't! Skilled!

[@allun13]

Another step closer to using it! Thank you.

[@lntkernow]

Wish I'd got someone to do mine first time round... I learnt the hard way when my side window fell and smashed into a million pieces just after I'd stuck it in place🤣 I held it in position for about 5 mis then went to the back of the van to get some tape and ply wood to prop.under it it, then SMASHHHHH!!! had to drive back to the place and buy another one and got them to do the back one for me aswell while I was there 🤣

[@philipbrowne7620]

Looks awesome, Paul.

[@OldNickHindle]

Darren's done this before!

[@delphinelesterlost3285]

An exciting development in the van build!

[@TomAndJoeVlogsTJOutdoors]

Another great video Paul, loving following your journey with the project! Coming on really well 👍🏻

[@NelsonClick]

You know what I like about this vid? You get to see the meticulous nature of Brit craftsmanship. Every detail has already been thought about beforehand and finalized before work begins. The whole Brit heritage of doing things "properly". Also, I'm so excited for your new venture into vehicular camping.

[@aaronkrey6828]

What an awesome job ! This huy know what he is doing ! Hope you enjoy :)

[@TheLewisc53]

Looks great, it's really coming along now!
