i know i know the neons but they where on the car when i got it . i did`t put them on.

vosko 02-08-2005 01:49 AM

that doesn't mean you cant throw them away



besides that looks nice

89 Rag 02-08-2005 02:02 AM

Hopefully the body filler where the mouldings used to be won't fall out after the metal expands and contracts a few times.

I was about to say the same thing. :P

Rob x-7 02-08-2005 06:04 AM

Did you paint that bumper on the car? Thats not a easy task to say the least, lol



I see it was red already so possibly installed on another car, was it already trimmed and shaped to bolt up to the car or did you have to do it yourself?

drunkin_idiot 02-08-2005 12:19 PM

Looks real goood besides the neons. Now you ogtta get urself some rims.

Shane.Trammell 02-08-2005 12:48 PM

Rob x-7 02-08-2005 05:13 PM

rob just look at the bumper shots you can see the large gap between the hood and the bumper and between the top of the fender by the headlight housing and the top of the actual headlight housing.



i dont really think it was fitted to the bumper, and think it was put on the car and bam it was done. but i also think the car had that bumper when he bought it so he might not even know.

teknics 02-08-2005 05:30 PM

also i dont like the "no molding except on the rear bumper thing"



but that seems to be in style in the fc world lately.

that bumper doesnt just bolt right up, it takes some work, lots of work

never the less, its good to see someone restoring a FC



just a bit of tech info, I noticed in that close up pic of the fiberglass work on the molding that the metal was not ground except where the actuall molding went, besides the fact that it appears to be polyester resin you used instead of epoxy which would be far better for bonding dis-similiar materials, without grinding the metal the glass will not really stick well, was that area just ground down and a coat of bodyfiller put over the hard line? That hardline wont last the summer before it shows its ugly head I can assure you. Good effort, poor execution, are you a body/paint guy or did someone else assist you ?

rx7freddie 02-09-2005 06:04 PM

the bumper was a bitch to put on i helped my friend put it on . then i drove it around for almost two years being red and black . so i did`t wanna take it off just cause its hard to do. its not the best paint job in the world but for 10 days and a few sleep less nights and alot of wawa coffie its fine with me .

rx7freddie 02-09-2005 06:05 PM

toplessFC3Sman 02-09-2005 11:01 PM

what happened to pic #4? did it magically mutate into another #12? The finished product looks pretty good! mine could use another coat of paint, the hood is ****, but the rest of the car was pretty good til i put it in the garage and went to college, and it magically got all these blue scrapes (same color as the wheelbarrow... i wonder...)

CletusFD3S 02-09-2005 11:11 PM

looks like ****.... j/k looks great but the neons do look like ****
