Change is coming...

This will be a cool project to watch, good luck with it. I have a feeling it will turn out pretty damn good.

I'm bias, but I think euro bumpers painted black would look SWEET on your car and be a less work, too.

me too, as I have this plastic back bumper, and don't want to hack it if I don't have to....

If you want to mount a plastic rear bumper to a pre-88 car, you have to cut the ends off and shorten it.

Good luck with the conversion Josh, I will be watching to see how it turns out.

So Josh... how much are you selling those fogs for?

They sold with the airdam.

Whatchoo doin' about paint?

Andrew and I are painting everything ourselves. My father in law has spray guns, I have a compressor now, and I can get a quart of DCC single-stage paint in my car's color for about $115

To you 3 diving board fans, I apologize.

But there comes a time in every early model E30 owner's life when you will look at your reflection in the mirror, and ask yourself,

"Am I a fool?"

Well, with God as my witness, I AM THAT FOOL! BUT NO MORE!

[M42Technik]

You are letting down the diving board fans

Yeah, Josh...all three of them.

:rofl:

Just recieved confirmation from the seller, my bumpers are in the hands of FedEx Ground, the will be here Friday. w00t!

[DanielHStout]

Teaser indeed.

[Jand3rson]

i'll paypal you five bucks if you hurry it up a little ;) heh please ?

Paypal is jnhanderson@yahoo.com... :D

Trust me, I wanted to get started on this so bad I can't stand it. But I can't afford to put my car out of commision any sooner than I have to. My bumpers will most likely be here this coming week, and we'll get started next weekend.

I'll be starting a new thread in the "Body and Paint" forum once we start, this one was just to be a teaser.

Rivets might be strong enough to hold it, but I'd advise using a back-up attachment system. Have you considered using body panel adhesive rather than Bondo or glass resin?

I've seen this stuff in action, and it's pretty impressive. Several of my body shop clients have been using this system for years, and they swear by it. Of course, they're just production shops, and usually work on brand new cars instead of custom/hot rods, but they do a LOT of work with the stuff.

I'll have essentially my dream E30 (body-wise), late model bumpers and valences with early tails and rear fender arches.

Yay for that. Too bad my dumbass crashed my 87....and had to pick up an 89....i do really dislike my lower arches and big tailights...argh..theres just something about the older e30s that turn me on....

[YAN-3]

Damn, I can't believe this thread is at 5 pages. :D

Soon people, soon. I don't want to get started until I have everything, so I can hit it all at once. Andrew and I are going to go at this all at one time, and work until we get it done.

uh.. 8 now.
