I might be interested in the rear bumper depending on price. Can you PM me with more details please?

This guy below bought the whole 2002 stash off me. Good luck with your build man, I will be doing body work very soon! excited to start towards nice paint.

Thanks everyone!

I received my 15x3" lips for the RM's today. They will now be a square 15x9 et1 set.

I'm excited about them, except the whole purchase transaction was terrible. Racing Team Hoffman on eBay, they have great ratings and sell lots of great products but they didn't answer any of my emails for two weeks after purchasing, finally shipped them out two weeks after they were scheduled to be at my door and then their bad packaging caused two of the lips to be scuffed and scratched due to the lips being sandwiched together. At the end of the day it's not really a big deal, life goes on, it's just a little frustrating.

All that shit aside, these are beautiful!

Have you thought about going the e21 front brake setup? or converting the rear to disc brakes? e21 i am going to do as its very reasonable even to buy all new parts or stupid cheap if you recondition second hand parts.

rear conversion info:

Inspiring work man. You can really see your skill progress through the thread. This thread has given me some motivation to dive into a few projects I've been hesitant to start. Keep up the awesome work!

Completely unrelated to my 2002 build, but I had to take a little break. My girlfriend just bought a nice new couch and it's basically a perfect scratching post for our idiot cat so I had to find a solution. I thought it'd be fun to take some scrap metal from around the property my dad lives on and build a table to cover up the area of the couch that he (the idiot) was terrorizing. This was a really fun project, as I basically went into it with no set plan, I just built it however I felt like at the moment. I knew the general dimensions it needed to be to cover the cushion, but the rest was up to my imagination at the time.

The couch is also next to the walkway into the kitchen, which is why it is triangular shaped. It leaves plenty of room for people to walk in and out of the kitchen.

Here is the frame of it. It is all scrap metal that I found, ground down to bare metal and welded together. I made little swirlys in the tops of the round pipe on the corners haha:




I then spent $30 at home depot on wood and clear coat. Cut some wood, sprayed some clear and ended up with this:






Here is the couch before the table. You can see at the back of the cushion where our cat started tearing shit up:



And after:



We're staining the wood sometime this week and then it'll be done!

Make sure you use some sort of pre-stain product. Pine is one of the worst woods to stain ever. I can dig it man.
