hah, hello from a fellow mainer. thats awesome 

I might have to take you up on the ecodes offer, but I am currently saving up my pennies for a set of ecodes with motorized angle adjuster from winglb. I reallyn want that motorized adjustment thing. my intension is to convert my rocco into a "power everything" car. with factory addons.

anyway. those of you who have asked for pics are gonna get your wish. 

I took headed to the shop shortly after work today and found my father had put the bumpers on while I was gone. he screwed them on from the inside of the rebar out on the ends, and up from below. 

you cannot see any screws, in fact, I couldnt find where he screwed them on and he wouldnt show me.   

I spent all night working on getting the interior put all back together. center console, seats, windows, mirrors, door cards, and so on. the only thing I have left to do is install the sunroof, the side skirts and the wipers. then I can drive it home 

one thing about the bumpers:

the trim strip would not go back in. thefew added layers of paint thickened up the slot, and the strips are really old and non flexible so we couldnt get them in. thats OK, because I just shaved the locking strip for the trim peices and they popped right in  Ill draw a sketch of that when I have some time.

here you go 

lets get right to what you all want to see. the bumpers. heh

not bad for NA bumpers eh?

now check out the rear.

and Ill give you one more just so you can all laugh at my huge wheel gap.  

so much for sleep  back to work I go....

I absolutely intended to do that actually, the DIY thread you had a while back "got bored today so..." or something like that was great. 

the only problem with have two people working on a car at sep[erate times is that a lot of things like that get overloooked. and in my excitement to drive the car home today I forgot to do the extra little things like that. but they are certainly on the list.

yeah, you heard it right. its finished!

I finally finished putting it all back together today and took my dad out for a drive in it. it kind of sucks that he licves on a dirt road tho. lots of bugs and dust all over the car already. 

but hey, its finally done, and here are some pics 

more pics where that came from.

sure you can  as long as you have really deep pockets.  

mAN. I am shredded. I need a nap.

just had about 45 minutes of unprotected sleep in a computer lab here at work. 

OOPS!

nah, its OK. I running updates on all my machines so I can doze in between clicks. every 15 minutes I would be awakened by the motion sensitive lights shutting off, and have to wave my arms around to get them to come back on. haha.

I might have tracked down a set of RM's!!! beat to heck, but I can replace the lips and paint em. 

where can I get replacement parts for BBS RM's? I need lips, center caps and a gold bolt kit. sure its been done before, but I love the style and thats what I want. ya know?
