Where did you get the rear bumper parts?

Thanks

Hi David,

I sourced the rear 3-piece RSR bumper parts from AASE which was the only place I could find those aluminum brackets online

update, forgot to post back in here, paint is done, took the car to get a full body PPF wrap done, should come back home for assembly any day now:

why not both comrad!? When she's done I'll come down on a PCH trip, we'll absolutely need to get together. If you're ever up for a trip to the great white north, you hit me up

Yes towarzysz, I miss our gettogethers with the gang... I also have plenty more restaurants for ya'll to try too! Hopefully this year things are back to normal.

I'll definitely let you know when I fly up sometime!


Can't wait to see what the interior looks like! Any ETA?

it's been far too long! I don't really have an ETA, but looking forward to having a mutual friend do something special for the interior

Looking good Bergman!

[Bergo]

Finally starting on my refresh of the 915 (replacing 1st and 2nd dogteeth, rest looks pretty good), and building a 3.4 out of this 3.2 I picked up a while back. just going over everything and building parts lists. I've got some new EB racing 3.4 cylinders, need to decide on my target compression ratio and decide if I twin plug or keep it mild and don't do machine work on the heads to twin plug.

[Bergo]

vapour blasting is cool, have the engine parts and trailing arms out to get blasted as well.

[Bergo]

more goodies arrived, going with a CSF center mount oil cooler which is supposed t work great in my RSR front bumper

[Bergo]

More parts cleaned up and getting ready for machining -









the car is also home from PPF and tucked in, I can now sit in it and make racecar noises!







I also purchased myself a 944 Turbo as I was suffering from Porsche withdrawal

[Bergo]

tangentially related, since I'm going all-in on a 3.4L build, a special thanks to Pelican Parts forum for facilitating the same of my old drivetrain - crating it up and shipping was a bit of an ordeal, may have consumed a beer or two too many, but it arrived safe and sound, well packaged, to the buyer!

What happened with your build Bergo, are you already driving or or did you get stuck along the way? I hope not as you were already on the downhill slope with this beautifully repaired and repainted chassis.
