Dear Darla, I **** your stinkin' guts.

I am not one of those miscreants. They keep trying to make me join but clint eastwood never had a big gang.

There's actually a DJ on a local rap station that says "WE FINNA GET IGNANT UP IN HURRR" all the time. Makes me think of you. And not in a good way.

[willis]

Don't use "Ignant Kid" as an insult.

I don't appreciate that.




Your front end is all out of balance now, by the way. Too much metal up there.

[C-Hutch]

Like one of those weird hotwheels that turns a pale shade of purple when you drop it in water?

I FUCKIN LOVED THOSE. hell yeah toys

[nickskater09]

I used some zip tie clippings and a soldering iron and plastic welded them back up

God damnit that is brilliant. And after that little birdie drops some paint on it, this is going to be looking good.

[aLaFleur]

Thanks man! Pretty excited to get it looking good. A little birdy said it might change colors this weekend.........

Yeeeeeeee

Oh good job doofus you put a gob of metal on the front of your car. Now it's going to be extremely nose heavy.

It weighs like... a pound. But I'll just assume you're one of those Ignant kids since you're from Orgun and clearly a doofus yourself.

The better for doing cool stoppies and shit.

Killer progress so far man. Glad to see you doing another car properly.

I bolted the bumper up and it still wasn't holding its shape right. Wasn't coming to a point at the center and it had bowed so instead of being a > it was more like a } (real high tech visual aid shit going on right there)



In that pic, there are blocks of wood wedged behind the middle at the bottom and zip ties holding the sides to the tow hooks to try to stretch it back to its shape. But that didn't work. So to remedy that situation, I welded up a brace/bracket type deal that will help it hold its shape and give me something to bolt to the body so the bumper stays firm when it hits the ground.



painted and bolted up



The PO of the bumper lived in a state where you have to have a front plate, so he had drilled holes in it, which I wasn't digging. So I used some zip tie clippings and a soldering iron and plastic welded them back up











I'm pretty stoked on how well that worked.

WELD ALL OF THE THINGS

It actually goes to this car. And it's an actual BMW part too. Made of abs plastic and stamped with a roundel on both sides. Might retrofit a rear bumper though.

[SD202]

moving along nicely. does that front valence actually go with this chassis or is it from a completely different car ? +1 for a good retrofit.

[TheNeek]

car is gonna look good. Those motorsport front ends are hard to find. The repro ones they make now are fiberglass I think.

[Khalil]

Bastard! It's beautiful!
