Hi guys,

just been down the road to where my MK2 is parked and found the front passenger side window smashed in!

Flippin Top Gear!

Anyway has anybody got a replacement passenger side window for a MK2 saloon.

Marina Mad Baz on here may be able to help!
BBC don't recognise this as crime or that it could be linked to the program :roll:

I suggest you don't leave it anywhere if possible!

Alas until I get the new gearbox fitted it aint going anywhere quick! You don't know the stress I already have had because I have to leave it in the open.

Quick update, a local club member has replacement glass which I will pick up tomorrow.
Ho hum!

That's good news!
Oh! didn't know it was static!
Hopefully it won't happen again. :roll:

Hi TC, thats OK how were you to know that it was static. Alas the gearbox died three months back so I had to source a replacement, I now have a completely overhauled unit which I was planning to fit in the next week with help from a friend (strange how these things happen just when you are going to do stuff). Also for the last two years I have lived with a friend in a Terrace street so of course no off road parking, I am planning to move into a house with at least a driveway by the end of January allowing me to do proper work on the Marina. I have a shed full of parts stacked up by my motorbike ready for the resto, I'm planning a street sleeper so I have performance parts in mind.

I must admit your Jubilee project is an inspiration! I might ask you about how to get bodywork that good!!!!!

On another note whilst I am picking up some replacement glass tomorrow I think I will cut some perspex as a temp replacement until I have moved the car.

Well I can't do bodywork so I employed the talents of a Mr Uncle Frank on the IOW
23 panels later and the car looked as new as you can get really
If it had been me welding then I think there would be more holes than when I started!
But the above is based on my welding many years ago on my Mini 1275GT
I have always been good at cleaning things so I concentrated on that and left the bodywork to the experts!
Plus if I had decided to do all the bodywork as well it would have taken me many more years and I could not wait that long :P

Well hats off to Uncle Frank!

He does an amazing job...actually I chose my MK2 because it was solid bodywork albeit tatty. Its kind of last on my list of too do except for emergency welding!
