My mate had a device, which was like a piece of string and a handle, and it was used to go under the seal of the windows, and pull the glass out. Took us minutes to take all the glass (including the glass on the Xtra Cab section) of my Hilux. Was a piece of piss...
Cheers bud, so just the one clamp? I'll give it a crack! ...That was a rather ingenious pun 8)

A second pair of hands would be even better, doing windows by yourself sucks!

After 3 and a half hours and 3 pairs of hands (including my own for once), the glass is in with not a moment to spare as it starts pouring with rain! :cheers:

Even winds and aligns properly 8)

Any major problems with getting it done? Or pretty simple type of thing...

Well it turned out that following my experiences with realigning the glass in the black car after it came off he rails, I was fairly educated in terms of how it was all assembled in there. Dropped a couple of the winder bolts down the door and resorted to using fridge magnets to retrieve them, but apart from that it went fairly smooth!

UPDATE:

I've had all my ignition wiring replaced, ignition now works properly and car starts once again! Replaced the seats and put covers on them as they're not in as good condition as my previous ones, apart from the fact they don't smell of piss.

All I need to do to get it back on the road is fix the fuel leak and register the damn thing! Insurance would probably be wise... So I filed for adult child support from my dad. He can suck the huge dick of family law now :thebird:

Took a few pictures with my new camera the other day and thought I'd play with the focus a bit.
