Bully Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 It's been a while since i last posted anything about my rebuild, but i have now updated the website so please have a look. Click here! Click on any photo for an enlargement. I hope to have her finished for the international, so fingers crossed. You will also see some pictures of the new Stainless Steel bumpers I purchased a couple of months ago - similar to the cost of replacement units, and far superior.

Cheers Bully How do the rear bumpers fit in relation to the curve of the back panel and do the overriders clear the bootlid when opening as those are the usual major issues with repro rear bumpers. Nice job with the rebuild by the way Stuart. Edited June 29, 2009 by stuart Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bully Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Hi Stuart, the fit looks good compared to an original bumper. We're still finishing the boot lid, so not sure of opening gap etc, but don't expect it to be a problem. The bumpers are obviously pressed out and if you run your finger along the edge, you can feel a slight undulation, although you can't actually see it. The holes are also pressed out before the bumper is shaped, so need a bit of fettling with a needle file to fit the bolts. Bully Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR 2100 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Yep, lovely job. You obviously like black! Don't forget to trial fit and fettle the wings and doors before you paint them (if you haven't already done so). Same applies to the bonnet and boot, maybe to a lesser extent. I like the bottle of lubrication in the photo of your engine! AlanR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bully Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Would you believe that is actually Midnight Blue rather than black. Thought the outdoor photos would show the colour better, but obviously not !! You'll just have to see it in the flesh I suppose. Every rebuild needs lots of lubrication :0) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mine is the latter, I got a parking ticket at the weekend - "Colour: Black". andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
