Parts for big bumper cars

Mike_Brace · Jul 9th, 2011, 16:08

I have just started on a job I have been dreading of clearing out my sheds. I have large quantities of parts including some panels and trimes for the early cars. I am going to have to reduce what I am keeping. I have already come across some good flat front bonnets, along with usable wings front panels and the like.

If anyone is having problems sourcing any parts or would like to quire some spares please let me know.

Hmmmmmmm, interesting Mike.

Likely will need front wings in the next couple of years for mine due to early stages of rust and could do with replacing the bonnet at some stage as it is a bit dented due to some idiot jumping on it.

Further to the other recent thread I have been toying with the idea of maybe an old school big bumper stylie conversion on mine at some point in the future (car is an '85 saloon).

Part of me thinks I would regret losing the originality of the car but part of me thinks sod it - could be a nice project and it would be pretty reversible anyway.

Wouldn't want to deprive anyone who needed to buy the parts for their early car but if there is no interest I may consider.

Do you have the bumpers as well?

I do have a selection of big bumpers that have come off various cars and in varying conditions.
