Wow. Very nice job.

But, why is it Under construction forever?

Edit: Wheres the front mount? Thats an awfully big hole behind that bumper.

Supra2NR · 06-22-2006, 04:06 AM

maybe he can help:

i need sumbody that has taken the front bumper off

maybe even a write up? if not even jus pointing the location of the screws will be helpful

havent you taken off your bumper supra girl? (and by that i mean your car)

I am under construction forever because every time I do one project I see ten more that need to be done.... Case in point, I need a front mount IC with hard pipes.

The bumper on pre 89 supras has a row of bolts behind the top grill and turn signals. You have to start by removing the top grill and turn signals . Then place your fingers in the space and feel the metal lip, there are about 8 nuts that face the front of the car that run accross the top of that lip. There are also two bolts near the trim inside the wheel well. If you remove all those all that you have to remember is to remove your fog light wires and you should be able to pull the bumper off. It has been a whils since I did this so if any one else remembers something feel free to post or correct.

exactly there will always be something that needs to be fixed, modded, or taken care of. especially in a high mileage car

j3pz · 06-23-2006, 01:25 AM

its impossible to finish a build, there is always something to improve on, make shinier, replace with something better. you can be done with a car and not do anythign more to it, but there is always that opportunity to do up on it.

very clean supe, ya def need to get rid of that mesh grill and put in a big ole ic. how did you get the molding to look like that? just have it painted??

simpsons7s · 06-23-2006, 03:00 AM

thank you and the molding was sanded then painted. Half the fun of working on these cars is that there is so much to do to them.
