Title: Bought a Yj Hardtop for $200, BUT one issue
Post by: yjpaul on August 10, 2005, 10:34:44 AM

So some relatives of mine found a yj hardtop over in bc in abbotsford and went to ask the lady how much, knowing that i was looking for one.  So she says "oh yea, i asked all the wreckers and they say these things go for one to two grand, but ill let it go for 200$." So he calls me, and i said what the hell are you waiting for, ill send you the money.  I got pictures and such and it looks like its in great condition, BUT there is no back window.  Some moron stole it while the top was sitting on a driveway.  Where can i find an UBERcheap back window for it? What can i expect to pay? Is lexan a cheaper idea or more $?

And on that note, anybody know where to get a new windshield done for cheap as well?

Thanks for the help

Haha, yea well this is not my main gang car, so im not too worried about bullets. (is it seriously?)

Well what is least time consuming, and cheapest.
The frame for the window is all there, all i need to do is bolt it in basically.
