Bumpers

I have just been doing what I can whilst the car is being prepared and hopefully painted on Saturday the 4th. I have been using the gold TR7 as a template to make the door cards and bumper brackets. The door cards are aluminium and the bracket on the back of the panel will hopefully hold the polycarbonate windows in. The front and rear bumper brackets are complete and the rear brackets carry the fog lights, all small jobs that will save time when it comes to assembling the car. I have bolted the bumpers into one section front and back and I will probably need to strengthen them slightly to stop them twisting.

a door card cut to shape and marking out for the bracket to support the window.

not clear but this shows the bolts that hold the bracket and the slots for adjustment.
