Euro bumpers coming soon...

[bkbimmer]

I'm working on a custom front valance...

Test fit it for a test drive to check clearance for driveways... It's pretty freaking low but I think it will be fine as long as I don't get much fatter!

Oh, Brent, that is sexy.

I'll ask again: when are you moving to Seattle? Haha.

[bkbimmer]

Sub frame restoration.

Thanks sir! I don't ever plan on moving, I don't like going places.

This car has needed a hood for some time now and I finally got around to stripping my parts car hood down to the metal tonight... It's about the nicest hood that isn't new that I have ever seen on any parts car since they are usually the first thing to be taken out. I should have the rest of my euro parts tomorrow as well. Yay for progress!

I think you need to change your name after admitting that you never hit the rev limiter!

ha! that was just in the white car. when i'm in the prius - watch out!

[bkbimmer]

True, when your wife isn't looking we should put a hemi in it!

Also, I got my new rear euro bumper center and new rear euro bumper brackets this morning. Getting new parts makes me feel special.

I really like what you did to the front valance by fabbing the chin spoiler on, will give it a very different 2002/e28 fusion look

You've got skillz

[bkbimmer]

I got all of the euro parts test fit on the car.

Looks like it's ready for the dump!

Ready to turn it into a truck yet?

I'm working on the straight axle conversion as we speak.

For all the towing? When are you getting a hitch for it?

I ruin everything.

Can I ask what car you pilfered that front lip from? I must say it is damn sexy and complements the front end well. Would love to replicate that look...

It's a chopped up section of a late e21 valance.

Did you buy the euro bumpers new? Painting them body color I assume?

I bought the center sections new and the rest used, the will be painted white or satin black, not 100% sure yet on which.

You do great work. The front airdam reminds me a little of a cow catcher on an early locomotive - sorry - random thought. I always thought they looked cool.

[bkbimmer]

Thanks, it's actually a snow plow.

[numberjuan]

Looks great man! I bought a valance off of you a couple of weeks ago.
That thing is super nice in person. Keep it up can't wait to see it when your done.

Thanks man, how is your car coming along?

[numberjuan]

It's coming along. I'm hoping to do the LCA's and UCA's over the holiday weekend next week.
Love all the DIY's on this forum

[bkbimmer]

I'm almost ready to paint my custom euro valance and hood.

[Coldswede]

You and that sanding block must be on near intimate terms by now Brent!

I have to admit you two do fine work together though.
