Hi Kids. I finally picked-up my newly painted bumper cover from my painter last week. He did a great job. It cost me a little more than he estimated as the quality of the part was not great. He told me that the cover contained a few pin-holes and some when sanded became larger air pockets. I'm not impressed with the quality.
This is where it will be installed. All the poly cover and tailight supports brackets have been removed..
I drilled a couple of holes in the rear sheet metal cover to support the wiring harness.
I then mounted the letters and the license plate brackets on the cover.
Here is the bracket kit that contains 18 perimeter bolts/nuts. I made some additional spreader bars from aluminum stock to help spread the load.
Here it is all done... and looking great!
This was a nice project that can be attempted by almost anyone(even me!).
I was lucky to find an NOS bumper cover on the local CL...and the seller also gave me the bracket kit. The painting cost more than anticipated but he did a great job. My painter does a lot of the NCRS cars in the area. He also painted my whole car 25 years ago!
Now it is on to rebuilding my front brake calipers c/w 'O' ring seals.. I'm waiting for CC to have their free shipping to Canada offer again...
thanx for watching................................graham
