Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Thanks for looking
Tom
If I was still in so cal I would buy the bumper from you in a heartbeat.
Driving to Valencia from nor cal would also cost me a small fortune in gas, and shipping probably just as much or more. Still though I might be tempted.
Anyone in the Sacramento/bay area that drives to LA and back and who is reading this and can carry a bumper let me know!
Hi, could you post pics of tip steering wheel, please? Is it modified beyond normal use? My leather cover has a damage, but I could re-use all the other stuff if yours is nice.
Thanks, Johan
This deal with TOM made me one very happy camper: he patiently answered all my questions, worked out a "steal of a deal" and lightning fast shipping. I was blown away when the cover showed up in my doorstep today and it was 10x better than described.
I will do business with Tom again without any reservation and would highly recommend him to future buyers.
Tom is great. Went to his house Saturday to pick up some parts, then realized he had more stuff I needed so I ended up going back on Monday again. Highly recommended and pleasure to deal with!
Ditto on the bumper, in better condition than pictured and described.
And shipping was quite a story, the box he shipped it in was about as big as a refrigerator.
That being said I've made bumper plugs for it, as well as mesh for the vents, and repainted the trim. Going to turn out very nice !!!!
I also bought mufflers from Tom, and they are great too.
Too bad he doesn't sell insurance.
Making your own bumper plugs:
Went to hardware store and bought a couple 9mm plugs like you see in above picture. Trim fasteners or something like that.
Already had primer, can of paint matching my car, and a can of clear coat, so my cost was about $2.
If you don't have the paint, it's much cheaper to just buy them from a place like suncoast.com or bumperplugs.com
You guys are too kind. The garage sale was a success. Makes me wish I had more stuff to sell. Glad you could use them.
The only things I have left are;
Clock spring for wheel, Works great but need to splice 2 wires, (used for same experiment) $50

Had time to clean up your old bumper today.
Painted and installed DIY bumper plugs, installed mesh grilles, and repainted the trim.
The bumper will probably stay off the car until the engine rebuild is complete.
I made them from a roll of 1/8" galvanized diamond mesh from the building materials section at home depot. About $10 for a huge roll of it. Easy to cut and form. On my old bumper I panted them black, but decided on the raw stainless look for the new bumper. I like the raw look better.
On the old bumper I attached them from behind with screws and auto goop. Totally invisible from the front.
On the new bumper I attached them only with auto goop from kmart (very strong stuff and about $5 per tube). Screws are pretty unnecessary with this stuff.
You have to remove the bumper, but that isn't very hard. Maybe a dozen fasteners or so, I would give it 30 minute tops the first time you do it. Get a helper because the bumper is large and awkward.
Good thing is while I had it on, it kept a TON of crap out of my radiators... which is a regular cleaning job if you drive where there are a lot of leaves...
If you follow the turbo threads, those guys pretty much have to do this because the bumper openings are much larger... and they have perfected the art (even companies that sell pre made cut-outs). Our NA cars have the same problem, albeit much smaller openings.
If you've ever removed your bumper you would see what I'm talking about.
Funny thing is, this ended up in Tom's for sale thread!!!!

Hi Tom,
I finally received the steering wheel a few days ago. All worked out with the US shipping, thanks for helping out. I just had to wait two weeks for my sister to come back to Sweden from the US!
The steering wheel looked great, leather looked new as you said. I have no idea what you actually did with the electronics, especially the glued tip switch, but I replaced it with my old wiring.
Did you just paint the tip buttons over the original finish? Or did you sand them down?
Thanks from Sweden!
Johan
I'll post some pics of it, but it's in pretty sad shape (well at least for my standards). It needs to be completely sanded down and repainted, there is a section that has some cracking in it, and some of that plastic bumper filler compound would probably work, but then primed and painted. The underside is pretty trashed (lowered), and I think most of the tabs are OK, a couple are broken though.
I guess if you want it, its yours for whatever it would cost to ship plus maybe some gas money to get it to greyhound. Putting it on a Greyhound bus was actually pretty reasonable, only about $60 to get it from so cal to a bus station nearby in Sacramento. I didn't have to drive very far to pick it up. The best part is the box Tom put it in took up an entire cavity in the bus, so there was no possible way someone could have crushed it with their luggage or another package. And I still have the box!
Logray, My bumper is about the same but also has "Trailerhitch" mod smack dab in the middle. Guess I wait till a clean one pops up. I see I also need the C4 bumper with the center cooler opening.
