Hi Don Ill take more pics as I go, no problem I am going to get some one to fit the glass, I have the tailgate glass and the quarter glass but need a new front screen. Im building a list of parts that are needed to finish off the job, so far: Front bumper toyota emblem badge (lost) Front mud flaps (some how ended with 4 rear ones) 2 off 3 spoke wheels, Ive had a set blasted and powder coated but 2 were quite badly pitted and the coating hasnt filled them adequately I was painting last night as I wasnt happy with the paint in the tail gate shut, the top coat was very thin so I gave it a couple of extra coats. |

Thanks Martin I have the blocks, just had then sprayed gloss black and bought the new gasket kit from TCB but I think I prefer the without blocks look. Time will tell I have made a right bugger of sticking the fabric down on the drivers side door card, need new fabric - any body??????????????????? |

Hi Dave, Good move to fit genuine Toyota glass seals and surrounds. Generic look really crap. Mine needs doing but waiting till I do the full paint job .... eventually! How did you manage to 'repair' the rubber on the rear passenger quarter glass surround? I'm intrigued ![]() |

Hi Don Its rigid plastic rather than rubber The chips were relatively small along the top and bottom so I roughed the surface up a bit with 600 grit and then used a u-pol body filler that sands down to a very high finish, plastic primered and then satin black top coat Where the big piece was missing on the b pillar side I used a piece of plastic taped to the back to provide support whilst the filler was applied a layer at a time til it built up to fill the full missing piece and then layered it up from the back to encapsulate the plastic to provide additional bond cheers |

I'd say 20 litres should be a shade under 1/3 of a tank. |

So getting the glass fitter back has been a challenge, I have been on hols to India for a couple of weeks and his availability either side of my hols hasnt worked out so its over to Martin in Blackburn for MOT and for the front screen removing and refitting with a genuine Toyota seal. I was able to add the car to my insurance policy for the Boxster with Elephant for £80 for 8months (to coincide with the Boxster renewal date. I was pretty happy with that! MOT and Tax Saturday and we are (fingers crossed) on the road. Its taken just over 2 years and a lot of money (we dont talk about the amount lol) but the end is in sight |
