Looks like a 916-style front bumper with added orange lenses as turn signals.

Thanks Andyrew! Yea they do have some nice stuff over at kennedy. Yea might be a custom job. Looking for a simple style front valance/bumper with an air inlet and air dam. haven't found anything to fit the bill yet. This ones close though.

Here's what I suggest, (not the fun way):

Get it running, clean it up a little, and sit on it for a couple years and dump it for big profit.
oops, too late.

You went from acquisition to engine in a matter of a couple weeks? If so, fast moving...

Strongly consider installing some significant reinforcements - if you've come this far, this quickly, you probably already know this but just sayin.

Best of luck.

Oh its been awhile since I got her. Remodeling a house too. Was thinking reinforcement wise, I'll put a full cage in it, with tubes triangulation the front and rear. Was thinking those reinforcement kits aka doubling the panel thickness might not be the right way to go. Gonna keep the uni body intact as much as possible. Sorry I'm not making her what she came out of the factory as! I've always wanted to hot rod stuff. Don't worry I won't put Porsche badging on my Chevy motor.


Building a street car or track car? If street, not a real fan of roll cages in street cars unless you plan to wear a helmet.

Oh - nice find. Whatever you do enjoy it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Not too sure what the problem is with your foggy pics, maybe fingerprints on the camera lens? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I know what you mean. Gonna pull double duty. Probably pad the cage really well.

Thanks so much!
