Install sliding windows

This week I finally installed the last windows of my Land cruiser. The iconic sliding windows only seen at the later model (1980+) Land cruisers. I made a comprehensive photo report to show you how this works.

Installing window weatherstripping

Now the frames are painted, the weatherstripping is in and the glass is thoroughly cleaned and scraped with razor blade (for getting the persistent dirt off), It is time to assemble everything.

Painting sliding window frames

Just something that was on the list for along time, didn’t do it because I had not found the right weatherstripping yet, well if you’ve read my previous post, you know that problem is solved, so onto the painting then.

Sliding window weatherstripping

This week I received the long awaited weatherstripping for my sliding windows. Like many other parts, this was no longer available through Toyota, so I had to source for an alternative.

Door assembly & weatherstripping

Yesterday was my second day I could enjoy the happy moments of assembling all the parts you have worked so hard on…

Hardtop windows

Last weekend I removed the windows from the hardtop. I took them home, because the weather is really nice here at this moment, so I had a good “outdoor” activity in mind: Cleaning the windows and its rubber weatherstripping.

Hardtop side panels

Now that the interior is mostly finished, I started with the left overs; the hardtop and doors. The status of these was still half finished; already did the necessary welding on the hardtop side panels 2 months ago, but put those one on hold, so I could start assembling the finished parts first ( was a good idea to stay motivated ).
