Got tired of waiting for replacement fender liner brackets so I made my own out of aluminum flat bar The nice thing with DIY is that you can custom fab the brackets to minimize gaps. I also went overboard and created four heavy plastic pieces which filled in the gaps where Marks design allowed debris to collect in the rockers. Attached Image

Has there ever been a better group buy than Oscar's bumper re-chrome deal?

I picked my front bumper up today and installed it. I think I'm going to roll out a sleeping bag in the garage tonight and sleep next to it......

Oh, and I used the 914 Rubber spacers between the rubber top and the bumper. A much better fit!

This bumper had the front (rectangular) license plate holder holes that were never pushed out at the factory.

He filled them in on the front before he chromed it.

The chroming process smoothed out the seams of the unpushed license plate blanks...I think this is a pretty rare unmolested bumper.
Came out excellent.

While the car was out for repair after hitting a dog I installed a new garage lift for her. This should help my aching knees Attached Image

That front bumper looks awesome, but now you have to replace all the other chrome to match!!

Just kidding... one week of driving and it will match the other chrome.

I’m doing that soon. It’s really a nice solution.

Got pictures of my new tires on my RS finished wheels and posted them. Thanks Eric @PMB

O, I love the way they look and the tires have a little rim guard so no rim scraping. 7 and 8s

Stripped a 71' SCCA widebody roller in my driveway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)
Next up is a 72' with a Mustang 5.0 wedged in it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

That leaves a 71' and the 75' to ship offshore and get back to work on my 74'
