Not too many pictures yet. I want to wait until I personalise the car (it still *looks* like someone else's if you know what I mean).

ok, so my 2000 cab is in a pretty bad state. rear window is finally falling out, so it hasn't been washed in a while..... Here are a few "before shots" which will hopefully embarass me into getting my *** in gear and fixing this thing up. I just quit my job so have zero excuse. Basically it's a trashed, completely stock 2000 cab. In a few months it will be wonderful again!



need to get this replaced pretty quick!


First thing is painting the brake calipers. I have done the front ones so far. They look OK if you don't get too close!

You're off to a good start with those rims!!!
First thing though get some clear side marker, easy, cheap and makes a big difference.
Second thing...close the hood!
Definitely +1 on the clear side markets.

I grabbed the camera from the boot. Didn't notice that I hadn't properly shut the hood until I looked at the pic full size

I had the same issue with my top and I got it repaired at bascomtrim.com in San Jose. They did a great job. I can't quite remember how much I spent. I think around $1k.

thanks. someone else recommended bascomtrim, so i'll give them a call in the morning. so far i got a quote of $960 from the dealer and about $750 a local upholstery place that claims they do them all the time.....
