What is involved in getting rid of the large 75 bumpers in favor of the smaller chrome bumpers from any of the earlier years?
I have these bumpers on my '75: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-2744-1222496554.jpg) I'd like to convert the bumpers to any of the earlier styles. This one is nice: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm3.static.flickr.com-11834-1280646383.1.jpg) |

The process is not that difficult, I have a 75 and completed the backdating. I did not spend alot on the bumpers as my paint scheme was a simple black and white. I simply bought a front and rear bumper on e-bay stripped them down welded the holes shut, I am Floridian so I can delete the front plate. fixed any dings primed and painted black. The weight savings is good, I believe the look to be cleaner and simpler but others may argue that they like the big bumpers. I personally only like the big bumpers on a black 914... my opinion only.
Take your time and make sure everything is thoroughly thought out and pre fit before drilling. Hey if I can do it how hard could it be....now getting the fog light bracket bolt fastened below the light was a really piece of work!!!!!! Good Luck, Vysoc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) |
