Re: Y60 Rear Bumper and corner chop

Dankie Jonathan.

Dalk het hulle.
Veral omdat die een stel bure nou 'n kleuterskool oopgemaak het. Gelukkig was dit 'n naweek-dag.

Re: Retirement bakkie

At that price and mileage, I smell a rat.
But if you have the budget for an engine rebuild (probably including a new head), it could be a good starting point. I have no idea what a known "good one" would cost now.

Re: Y60 Rear Bumper and corner chop

Fanus dit gaan dalk uiteindelik die monteerpunte vir 'n spaarwiel-swaaiarm wees, maar dit kan dalk ook "barwork" dra wat bo om die spaarwiel na die rock-slider gaan (amper soos Tyler Thompson op Youtube se GQ). Of dalk soos Des voorgestel het, montering vir die toilet-stoel! :rolling: Die ...

Re: Y60 Rear Bumper and corner chop

Dankie Alex. Ek is heeltemal gelukkig om die bumpers te verkoop, maar ek is nie bereid om aan ander ouens se karre te sny nie. Lank gelede toe ek dit begin oorweeg het, het ek by Oom Jan van Quantum 'n kwotasie vir die corner chop aangevra. Die prys was heel billik, so dis wat ek sou voorstel as iem...

Re: Y60 Rear Bumper and corner chop

The next step was to complete the welding on the bumper pieces, and then prep for paint. After that all I had time and energy left for was to cut cardboard templates for the filler plates. This morning I started by painting the bumper corners. But I ran out of paint and had to dash to Builders for s...

Re: Y60 Rear Bumper and corner chop

Yesterday morning at 06h00 I started dismantling. Renoved the old bumper, the rear wheels, removed the tail lights and removed all the interior bits giving access to the corners. Then the scary bit: chopping the corners. Never ground on a car's body before. Tijmen gave me a good idea here. Apply 25m...

Re: Y60 Rear Bumper and corner chop

Of course I got my timing wrong and had to wait until this week to get the parts due to year-end shutdown, but the bumper is tacked together.

Now comes the scary part. Chopping the corners...

Y60 Rear Bumper and corner chop

For the last couple of years, one corner of my car's rear bumper has been pointing out at a rather sad and sorry angle. Every time I straighten it, the very next trail I hook it again. Both corners have also been bashed pretty hard from the bottom. Early in December I decided that the time had come ...
