I have tried searching to no avail. I have a '76 that I am trying to get ready to paint and I can't figure out how to remove the front bumper shocks. Do you have to grind off the weld from the support bracket?
I've done this once before but it was about 10 years and a lot of beers ago. Thanks for the help. |

I'm considering going back with f/g GT bumpers. Those impact bumpers are heavy. I can't decide which way to go with this car. It is the most solid 914 I've ever owned and it's very original but I I've had a couple of GT's and I'd like another.
So, do I repaint this car in orignal black and reassemble it and sell it or do I convert to a GT as I know this car is so solid I'll never find a better candidate? Decisions, decisions. |
