skunk Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 fucking sweet man. i want a 73 front bumper so bad..... nice find and :fu: :lol: Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 its not a 73 bumper its a 74 "transitional" bumper basically its a 73 bumper with a few extra holes drilled in it that was originally mounted on shocks i drilled holes in it so it would sit on the 73 mounts its not perfect but it looks good and will work till i get my 73 bumper straightened and re chromed Quote Link to comment
skunk Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 will work till i get my 73 bumper straightened and re chromed let me know when your done with the transitional bumper :D Quote Link to comment
zerow Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Bonvo - you are more than welcome. I'm glad I was able to get my hands on this one. Skunk - as long as you don't mind a transitional bumper, I will keep an eye out for one. Most people find them undesirable. Micro - +1 considering that Bonvo has been rolling around with that front end nekkid for a while now... Quote Link to comment

bonvo Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 no real update since the move is right around the corner but indy510 cam to vacaville for a little photoshoot fun before i left cali and i finally have rolling shots of my car the girl you see is my girlfriend you might also see debra in the back seat Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 datsunfreak if you want to run the transitional bumper you will either need the mounts that go with it and a 74 front valance or 73 brakets and front valance and drill some holes (this is what i did) i was just going to compress the shocks and run the mounts that came with it but they dont work with the 73 valance Quote Link to comment
zerow Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Is Pops driving the car? Either way...let us know you got up there safe. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 nope its going on a trailor Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 well as you all know i made it to la pine the funny thing is we put it on a trailor to avoid poping tires and one of the trailor tires poped today i rolled underneath it at my uncles shop to grease the u joints one of them is making alot of noise i think its one on the driveshaft since the halfshaft ujoints were recently done Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Git 'er did. There's some good cruisin' out there. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 yeah im hoping ill find work soon so i can really bust ass on her this winter i may have somthing different to use as a daily this winter so the datto no longer has to be a rolling project and it can get some much needed attention she needs a throw out bearing u joints and some rear shocks once im working i can actually buy these parts Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 well greasing the u joints didnt work they just kept getting worse and since i have no cash i was trying to figure out what i was going to do well i remembered i had an extra set of half shafts after the build i dug them out and sure enough they had good u joints spent an hour under the car changing them while dodging misquitos and now i have no more clunking pparts hoarding pays off fellew ratsuners it really does Quote Link to comment
