Then on the way out of the door I my new bonnet caught me eye and after chatting we dragged the pedestal out into the sun to see it shine. Not the cleanest of pics as its a wee bit dusty but it really shows how the sun can flip the colour. Lastly a big box full of new goodness arrived today so i'll go away and take some more pics and post up shortly.

Daily update time ! Managed to get the rear quarter glass out but took me nearly 45 minutes per side and it was a bugger of a job. But glad it was done as the painters can now do a proper job rather than masking round the glass. Also managed to get a glimpse of the doors and spoiler which both have had there first coat or primer.

Thought you were posing for the new Hitman movie!

I'm taking them out now but where will I find blue ones ?

my quarters are bronze rather than blue, the blue tailgate is off a breaker I had last year.

ok, Going to attempt to take the quarters out and also the original glass from the tailgate. Can the quarter rubbers that are around it be replaced. I've ordered the bottom trim but not the rest.

Old Tailgate which is japspec glass : Tailgate of breaker which I presume is UK : Now we haven't removed the quarter glass and I never intended to due to the difficulty of it. So would it be possible to tint the clearer glass down to the same as the quarters. Also the front is cracked and is getting replaced under insurance so no idea what that will be either.

Actually got the original tailgate from the black zed but threes slight burn marks on it from when some welding got done and the glass wasn't sufficiently covered.

Its not the tint but there's the remainder of a very clear film that I can't easily get off. The glass that's out the back on my spare blue looking and I could tint that.

So I've two more tailgates out the back and now I know how to get the glass out i'm thinking of taking one of the better glasses out the other tailgate. I see a kit similar to what I used in the garage on ebay but is £25 cheap or should I get a better one.

lol, I'm at JAE every year and was at Coventry last weekend. The drives not as bad as it seams and could be more fun if a convoy was created.

Progress has been slow but finally getting some more jobs done. Took the best bit of two hours to get the rear glass out as the tool / wire we were using kept snapping. Eventually discovered that we missed two clips that were in the corners : But with the glass finally out the work can be started to prep the tailgate. Also at the same time another guy was doing my doors and was in the process of adding the lower filler panel. And after the glass was out I test fitted my new rear japspec bumper and also cleaned all the old goo from the light areas. Looking a bit bare here but at least the progress is moving now.
