Thanks for the interest! I now have it attached and the wiring for the turn-signals is completed. I have taken pics along the way and did my best to keep track of the parts required, steps, and bolt #'s and sizes. I will be working on typing up the tutorial this upcoming weekend (I have 4 pages of notes).

Here are some pics from last nite.

Wow Tifo

I don't have much else to add, but your car is looking very very good.

Tifo, I am going to be doing this exact same thing in the next few weeks, before I start painiting the car. I am really looking forward to that manual on how to do it. I am worrried about having to drill out the welds on my centerpeice, Your car looks awesome. I want to see it with the red fuchs, that is exactly what mine is going to look like.

how hard was it to make your N/A fenders work with the turbo bumper. Do they line up correctly.

Jeremy, that looks fantastic. Great job. I kinda regret getting the fiberworks bumper, but it might still look good when its done. Anyway, looks VERY good!

Very nice car. The bottom lip of the bumper looks incredibly good. Goes very well with your wheels as well.

Looks nice. . .

I think for authenticity purposes it would look awfully stupid on an early car like mine though. . .

I MIGHT go the Ian's conversion route, but we'll see. . .

Why leave the tow eye in? Seems to say "look at me, I'm liable to break down at any moment!"



Sorry, just seems a bit out of place.
