Starting to prep and epoxy prime another set of bumpers for myself...brought these back to life from the dead.
They were in BAD shape.
Front is a GT Mod bumper Ben did for me... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) to @mb911

I just had the panel between the tail lights straightened and painted. Installed a new 914rubber.com bumper top and my spare bumper while I wait for my original early style bumper to be straightened and rechromed. Haven’t driven the car much since August and was excited to have it back on the road tonight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

The cracks at the edge of my rear spoiler had been slowly growing over the years.
Recently the one side jumped to almost a foot long. It was finally time to take action.
I did not have the nerve plus I knew the Tony would enjoy molesting Elvira.

It's true. They all have more rust than you think.

More sanding needed. (The Bondo went up this far.)

I am not sure if I am going to add a spoiler back again. If I do it will probably be the same style. (Suggestions are welcome.)
It will be bolted on and not glassed in.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) , John. I'm surprised to see all the rust that grew underneath it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yikes.gif)

Taking care of our cars is an addiction. I personally prefer our cars sans spoiler. Regardless of with or without, your car will look beautiful again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Michael your car is looking great. Did you send your rear bumper, the original, to Oscar on the bumper group buy? All you have to do is look at how nice the bumpers Oscar is painting look and you know that the level of detail he brings to everything. Perfect place to hang your front bumper Ben!

Yes, I have it...It's in-process

One of my last bumpers...now only doing GT Mod fronts from Ben.

John, my rear spoiler has wider flanges, originally had about 20 screws to hold it on,On my CF lid I used 3m tape and made some little extra insurance clips, no holes drilled in lid . 1 on each front corner and 3 across the back,,

I would do the same spoiler - but bolt on instead. Why mess with the good looks of the original build!

For some reason, my steering wheel has seemed loose lately, so I took the hockey puck off and it was surprisingly loose.

Weird, maybe I forgot to cinch it up last time I had the wheel off?

Looking good, Oscar. That primer looks like Dupont "Veri Prime". Is it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

@VegasRacer , Hey John, I just went thru this last weekend. Give me a holler when you get ready to bolt it on. I can save you a few hours and probably have most of the SS hardware to do another one. Originally, I used Tinnerman washers but they looked kind of cheesy. kent (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Then you can do mine? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I finally hung the front struts back on mine, need to finish up the lower control arms, turbo tie rods, and sway bar.
