Finally picked up the rear bumper today.

Very happy with how it turned out and the repairs that needed to be done to the caps.



This shows what the guys cut out of the cap and replaced with new metal.
You can't even tell anything has been done from the front.
Very happy with that.

Just ordered a McDonald Bros 4 link kit with QA1 coil overs.

Nice bit of gear.

No pics...as it's still in the box.

Slowly coming together.

Work has begun on the car again.

Shane has fitted the brake booster and Master Cylinder, made up pedal box, and the bumper bracket have been made and the bumper is now fitted.

Taking the hood over on Monday to trial fit and make sure that the carb hat/ Throttle body setup fits under...then I'm thinking I would like to get the hood louvered. Get some heat out of the engine bay. I'm sick of cooking in the car while I drive....So I will be doing everything I can to keep things cool.
