I've given myself a deadline of Oct 1 to get the car running/driving. That will give me a couple of weeks to debug and wrap up some details before the 05 FFC (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

It will be a challenge to get it done in time, but I do have a shot at it. I try to get things done quickly but the details just always seem to take more time.... and $ (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

I've been making some progress and will share some pics as I continue to get things done. Here's some pics of my rear bumper progress.


Started with a very low rust rear bumper.

I had to remove a broken off tow eye hook before installing the bumper. That hook had been broken off in there for 15+ years but came out amazingly easy (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Installed the bumper and screwed in the tow eye hook for a look.
