I guess I did drop off the planet for a few weeks. I usually have 4 days a week to work on car and suddenly found myself working 6 day weeks. Things have finally settled back down so I can get a little more done on the project. I still managed to get a few things done but didn't take too many pictures or have any time to post them.

I received a PM from Craig asking about vent window setup. I think the response would be of benefit to all, so I will post the response here in the next couple of days.

Here are a few pictures of my progress, I will try to post some more pictures tomorrow.

Here is a close up to the build up bumper edge. The contour of the bumper did not match the fender at the top. I used 3M 5895 Plastic Repair. Most of the products listed in older Bumper refinishing articles are no longer available so I picked this as the one I thought was best of the available products. A week or so after I started the repair Paul@Fast listed this as the product he uses so it should be good product for the purpose.



Sort of mocked up for test fit purposes.


In between waiting for filler to dry and when I only had a few spare minutes, I worked on the trunk. Dynamat not completely installed but getting there.
