Rust repairs look like they are coming along fine. Front bumper idea is interesting, never really thought about that. Are you thinking of doing the back end? Car is looking like it's coming together. Nice job.:thumbright:

[Festiva_Fred]

More rust repair..

Before.


After.



Now the rockers on both sides are nice and rust free!!

[Festiva_Fred]

Matter of fact i think I'm gonna do this on one of mine tomorrow. Think It can be bobtailed even more?

Not sure, but I don't think so.. mine was pushing it.. I barely got the screws in the corners in it. Which car you doing it on?

what about the inner foam supports, and the rear outer corrners?

The foam isn't in there at the moment, but will be after I shave a little off of it. The corners are screwed to the fenders, it just barely screwed on, but holds fine.

Here it is with the fogs on and a plate.. looks sweet I think

Front bumper mod..

My front bumper is now tucked in about 1/2-3/4" closer to the body, heres how I did it.


I used a nail and a hammer to make pilot holes for drilling new holes



Where I marked it on the top


Bottom


New holes drilled






And mounted














Keep in mind that this is NOT a perfect fit, and some of the clips won't line up anymore, but even with that I think it looks nicer IMO.

[Festiva_Fred]

89' and the 93' together







Love how the front end of the 93' is looking! Can't wait till I get the grill painted to match, FG GTX style hood, and paint the bumper black
