yenpit Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 You have yourself a real unicorn. It's hard to find a 521 or a 620 truck glass.............the 510 & the Z car are still available in cheap Chinese repop. Even the aftermarket parts scene is low for the F10. As a career classic car parts guy, I can't imagine any manufacturer ever reproducing parts for that model. This a a great place to start, but good luck! It may be a long arduous journey for you.............🙄 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Yeah, that's a pretty unique car, some might even say ugly. When I describe the differences between classic full size Jeeps and classic Toyota Land Cruisers, like the FJ60, I describe the LCs as having a distinguished Japanese look about them. I think the F10 could be described the same way...It's a Japanese thing. So if someone calls your car ugly, just tell them it's a Japanese thing. They wouldn't understand. 1 Quote Link to comment
SWFL Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 (edited) In the TV show: Wheeler Dealers, season 14 episode 4, they flipped a 1973 SAAB 96, that needed a windshield. They went to a giant windshield warehouse in LA and found a different windshield that had the same contour. They used the old windshield as a template to cut out a new windshield from the center of the different one. Edited February 2 by SWFL 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 I saw a you-tube where they cut laminated windshled with a water jet. Quote Link to comment
flyerdan Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 I've heard that you can cut non-conductive stuff (including glass) with a plasma cutter by using thin strip metal or foil to maintain the arc. I have an old windshield with some bad cracks, I think this summer when it's hot I'll give it a try. Quote Link to comment

RyanC Posted Wednesday at 10:45 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 10:45 AM I think the F10 was sold as a 120y here possibly in Australia, I would think there are screens avaialable still. Quote Link to comment
