It happend when a few days after my gsl rear end swap. VB sent me two left side e brake cables, I had no idea. Put them on, drove it, parked the car on a hill, set the e brake and got out. The combination of faulty cables and myself not leaving it in gear caused teh car to roll down a hill into a 2 day old ford truck. Brakelights were replaced and I never got to fixing that dent. Very ackward position to get at.
looks like it will be very clean after you paint and everything. what color ?

I love the conversion, very nicely done. I could do without the center piece being welded over, but that's my opinion... too much flat space for my liking.
Also, the way you reinforced the bumper is very interesting, might I ask why you didn't go with a triangular set-up? I would think that welding in triangle supports would stand up to a collision my better than simple up and downs?
All in all, great car man! The write up is very well done, I've been looking for how that bumper had been done and now I know! Thank you very much!

We also figured that the blank spot in between the brake lights doesnt look right so we are ordering a inset license plate box to mount it in there. Here is the color i am wanting. Its my old 7 that is parked on the side of the house. Its such a damn clean car and am saving the big bucks for that car.

So ive been on the road the past month working but am coming home next week. The plan is to have it all done by september. My friend got laid off at the body shop he worked at and he is looking for side work so he is going to paint, cut, buff, and clear my car for less than $900.
Also i decided to put the original center section between the tail lights back in. Here are some pictures of it driving around
