actually installed my rear bumpers today, as well as the signal lights i made up for the car. these are NOT factory but more for safety ( too many crazy drivers out there)
used all new hardware as well, they look great, and notice the spare tire carrier is installed as well
left side view showing brackets
good angle view of left side bumper and signal/brake light
head on view of left side bumper and signal/brake light
head on view of right side bumper and signal/brake light
angle view of right side bumper and signal/brake light
per a recommendation i painted the inside of the housing gloss white, it should help reflect the little bit of light that the bulbs put out
i painted both the standard housing and the conversion LED housing.
Tail Lamp housing that will be restored all original
This is the LED housing
got my stanchions from TFS and opened them up to start laying out and building my front end
question, are they supposed to be straight up and down (90 degrees post to base) or should they be angled ??
mine are angled one more so then the other. attached are a few pictures of them
stanchions side by side for comparison, yes lean to right
stanchions top down, bases are square to each other, notice difference
looking straight on, notice the angle difference
stanchion 1 against the square
stanchion 2 against the square
updated on my painting insides... got a few coats of paint on them, all cured, and removed the tape...
should be ready for rebuilding, and yes i will remove paint from target areas to ensure proper ground :) at least i hope
here are a few of the Stock Housing Rebuild
back of stock housing
inside, gloss white background, silver reflector
lower half for tail/parking light (original hardware)
rear of stock housing angled
Great car !
