OK, my car is not quite stock already, Rennshift, Carbs, Momo wheel.
Today I bit the bullet and will be buying some newly chromed backdated bumpers (no "tits") and will be putting them on my 74 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I figure I can always drill holes to put the "tits" back on. Pics of car about to be backdated Attached image(s) |

Bumpers are here, and car is back from paint. Just waiting on the front bumper top.
I've got a nice weekend project. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Ferg |

F & R bumpers & tops of - 30 minutes max. Clean up the areas behind each, and the dogbones - 15 minutes. Install new bumper tops - 15 minutes. Reinstall F & R bumpers/tops & align - 30 minutes. Start at 9 am & you're easilly free for the rest of the day. Heck, you just had the car repainted - that should save you 15 minutes. Other than changing a tire, this is the easiest thing to do on a 914. Pat |

I go to the garage, and start to remove a bumper bolt, the garage door opens and it's my son Hudson (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) asking if I will play matchbox with him. I go inside play matchbox for a hour, and put him down for a nap. Then I go back out, and finish removing the bolt and start on bolt number two, wife opens the door, to say my Daughter Mia (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) Just woke up, and I'm on Duty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Repeat that scenario throughout the weekend and you get the idea. I did finish, and I also modified my Bursch exhaust tip, so it now angles down and to the side, and does not look so silly sticking a mile out the back of the car. Pictures to come, camera was full, so later this week I will snap some shots. I'm very happy how it turned out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Ferg.
