Restoring a 1970 and wrestling with my bumper dilemma. Have a set of front and rear that are stripped and now very lightly primed to prevent rust. Ideally, my goal is painted black bumpers but restoration costs coming close to $1k each. Can buy new stainless for that cost! They both need some reshaping, a bit of rust mitigation and a bit of welding where the old bumper teeet holes exist. I'm only seeing new chrome bumpers out there, nothing in raw metal. Now what???

I had one bumper rechromed lately. A good chrome job is about 1k, including some straightening.
My bumpers were chromed someday in the past by the PO in the US. Chrome was peeling in some areas, grinding marks still visible. Bad (cheap?) work. I checked this 914 with stainless steel bumpers which is for sale in my area. Note that the "shine" of stainless is different to chrome. More on the "dark" side. Fit seems to be correct, though. An option, nevertheless. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/up.picr.de-24260-1629959915.1.jpg) |
