Guys - for your consideration. Here is the story on the bumpers - it appears the front is a 73/74 as it had the holes for the tits. The rear was earlier because there were no holes for tits. I restore 3 piece Porsche Speedline wheels for Porsche friends and I use a polishing shop in Oxnard. I had them send them out to be straightened, holes welded up and rechromed. It took two tries to get to these results. I do not think they are exactly concours level worki, but pretty nice and the best they could do. These were slated for a 75 conversion I was working on and then ran across a six chassis and decided to restore the six. Sob story I know - I got a good front bumper off the six and found a early 914-6 rear bumper to restore so I am just moving money around to get the next two done. I just took pictures, but did not unwrap them and I noticed they did something I did not request. They welded the hole up for the tow eye to be screwed - probably not an issue, but you need to know. I guess it could be drilled open but why would anybody go to all that effort. In all my years never used that tow rig anyway. |

If I ever have my rear bumper re-done, I have considered removing the tow hook hole. If I were selling these, I would unwrap them to take pictures so potential buyers could see the quality of the finish work. I know it's a bit of a pain, but well worth it. GLWTS.

FWIW I have seen this set of bumpers in person and they are vey nice driver quality. For the amount of effort that went into them its a good deal.
