The vent window rubbers are the only ones I did not have to replace. Just a good soak of silicone oil.

Just a quick update. All lights fitted with front spots and rear chrome reverse light. Bumpers are on bur the back one has to come off again when van goes for a new exhaust. Windscreen washer converted to electric. New horn fitted and alarm fitted and working. All internal floors lined with 5mm foam rubber and side panels got some sound proofing. Oh and glass is all in. Lots of other small bits and bobs here and there. Slowly coming together.

Got van out in the sun yesterday as the strong smell of contact adhesive was getting to me. Done some more rewiring and spray painted the wheels. Also rewired some fuses as I had a bit of a earthing problem.
Got my interior back today and I really happy how its come out.
