    After a couple of rectangles cut from scrap metal, a rivet or two, a few welds, and some zipties...  my rear bumper is back on!  Also tucked this time too.  I havent taken any pics yet though.

        Exactly!  It was a lot easier with the bumper being ripped off too.  Just drilled holes and used a sledge hammer to knock the shocks in.

          Ironically, that's exactly what I did, unbolted it, drilled, sledge hammered them in.

            Hell yeah.  Whoever had it maaco painted, had them paint the metal bumpers too.  So it almost looks like a plastic bumper with how far it sits in 0.o   

            Also talked to Andy (the guy who will be timing my motor) a little bit.  Were going to be aiming to between now and this weekend for him to swing by.  I told him no hurry, but I cant wait to get this thing finished!

                    Says race cars, drive's an ETA. Unless you're talking about turbo-burban. That thing is a race car. :3

                      I made a couple of subtle hints, like "Im literally free at any time during any day" and "I work for my dad.  I can always make time" lol.

                        So tonight I tinted my tails red and left the clear.  Have no motivation to upload pictures though.  Maybe in the morning?  They turned out nice except one of them fell off the bench they were drying on, so it needs a good wet sanding.

                          Post pictures, I'm going to do this eventually to the E28, but once I have cash to waste away on the cute fancy fartsy stuff. for now, it's all about getting the car going again, and some fancy ass rims.

                              I could give two fucks about the tires on the rim Earl. they could be Nitto 555r tires, or really cheap star fires. It's the rims that make the car, not the tires and rims. SON. ❤

                                what are you speaking of Brian? I was commenting about the model paint you use to paint the lights. By the way....THEYRE FRIGGIN WHEELS!!!!!! Rim would be the outer section of a bicycle wheel.

                                  I paid $14 for all 4 cans. What do tires have to do with anything? Lol. Rims is incorrect. You don't put rims on a car, you put wheels on a car. Unless you're black and they're going on your Monte Carlo on hydraulics. Dem u got sum rimz y0.
