Hi
Anyone know of any diags or plans to show where to cut the extra windows to turn an 11 window bus to a 23 window samba !
Just another of my crazy ideas !
Thought I could make the top windows out of acrylic.

I'd look for a wrecked 21 windo and graft the roof. I would not even attempt to cut new holes in the roof. Andy 63 Camper

63 CamperI've got an easier way. Take some good straight-on photos of the windows and have them printed on vinyl by a sign shop, then apply the images of the widows... That should do the trick!
Better yet, apply the images of the windows.
I wouldnt want to do that !
a: I am in the uk -- If there was a wrecked samba it would still be worth resoring and so worth more that the roof !
b: I cant forsee any dificulty in cutting a few holes in the roof - Might even put a ragtop in too !
I will prob get around to trying it in the new year, although I have 4 bugs and 3 busses that need attention so this might be wishfull thinking :-)
Gives me time to try and find more info anyway.

No other reason than that by cutting all those holes you weaken the Bus structurally destroying its value. Ever seen the underside of a 21 or 23 window? The windows and ragtop are all braced, they are not just holes in the sheet metal. Why not hunt around for the real thing instead of destroying yet another Bus.
