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?






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.

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 ?

Shane.Trammell 02-09-2005 02:33 PM

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 .
