Newbie needs help, clubman side windows.

I have a early 70s bread van and would like to cut out the sides and install the Clubman rear side windows(approx. 12" x 42" I think).
Can anyone tell me where to get the windows and the rubber gasket seal?
Anyone ever done this and can give me some advice?
Gordow W.

As far as parts goes you should be able to get the parts through any number of Mini parts dealers
www.minimania.com
www.gbcarparts.com
www.heritagegarage.com
www.7ent.com
www.minicityltd.com
www.vipernoir.com

and of course, www.ebay.com

And for feasibility:
Check out the forums on http://www.minimania.com/msgthreads.cfm
Do a 365 day Advanced Search - might already be a thread about it and if not someone probably knows about it

Why ruin a good van to get (possibly) a mediocre wagon? Sell the van buy a wagon.

There's more work to it than you might think. You need to take a look at how the wagon window channels are welded in and duplicate the entire system including the outer finishing frame (which are hard/impossible to get).
