*Disclaimer*

Yes I know the lower section is extremely dirty. It is actually white underneath the dirt. It is 20+ years of never being cleaned. This week I will be working on a front turn signal setup, clay/wax the lower section front and back. Next step will then be figuring out a bolt on/weld on 'bumper cover' to fill in all the holes. For now though it is WAYYYY better than it was!

Soon to come will be lowering, nicer wheels and some form of 'old skool' driving lights ALA the BMW 2002.

On with the pics!

100% correct ;)

Never to return. Once it is cleaned up and I work out some stuff it will look a lot better.

However I THINK an e34 bumper fits...

My brain is still absorbing the concept of no bumpers. I could definitely see it though- kind of like the guys who run 2002s with no bumpers at all. I bet it will be pretty cool when you get it all cleaned up.

Don't need bumpers. Those are for wimps really.

Halston, I am excited about this project. I am trying to visualize the end result and I certainly see it in the front. What do you have in mind for streamlining the fenders and eliminating the lips? I know you said bumper cover/bolt on, but how much of this will be custom?

If the e34 rear bumpers fits as planned and I think it will it will mount just under the lip so the lip is 'gone'.
