ok been doin lots of work, and heres the final result. all i have left to do is lift the front to match up to the rear and mount my new rims and tires! its a gen 1 bumper on my 84 GL wagon.

 

 

 

 

 

Looks great,but I have never seen one of those on a '75-79 car or Gen I Brat up here.I always thought those were intended for the '80-84 and Gen II Brat and Hatch.

 

Hope to see you at the Pine Barrens again in the next few months.

Do you offroad much.. How long you figure those from lights will stay on for?? Looks freaking sweet

yeah i do, im planning on drilling mounts on the top of the bumper to mount them, just have to get around to doing it sometime.

 

Hey Paul! how u been. i was just talkin to Neo the other day about planning another trip soon, it would be nice if we could get some snow down here, make it a little more interesting! I thought the bumper was gen 1 cuz i saw it in the old brochures they have pics of on this site. but yeah i havent seen it any any other cars except the one in the brochure. i got the wheels and bumper from PHATBRAT "Boz". dont know where he found them though. anyway, we should plan another east coast meet somtime.

what would be the easiest way to lift the front end about 3-4 inches? i dont have a welder or access to one or i would have gotten my own steel stock and gone that route, can i buy any generic stuff from a home depot or something, and just put a piece of pipe above the strut and extend the bolts. im out of a job for now and short on cash. but i want to do it the right way.
