Spent a very enjoyable Sunday, listening to your content. Thank you for doing what you do. I will subscribe and find anything else that I can do to help you out. Hope you’re heading into a great Christmas.

TiG looks great - but I could lay bead on that in 0.1% of the time... Also if you cross drilled that mount you created, you would provide some deflection if you got minor tag in parking lot.

Dude I had no idea you had this other channel! Subscribed!

Mercedes and BMWs got the safety bumpers far worse than the Porsches. They were like park benches.

Just don’t hit anything, now you are the crumple zone.

Some 3m double stick tape will hold that black molding in nicely. It’s what most trim is held on with now days.

BMWs were far worse of that vintage

Would probably look better without those hideous rubber strips.

Torque spec technique works for me!

The problem is that it still looks like a crappy 924.

Nice mod man! I'm a mk1 Focus guy and we had the same issue here in the States with the large bumpers to meet US crash standards. A lot of us imported the Euro bumpers which are snug to the body and flow 1,000,000 times better (they should as they are the original design) -- so I feel your pain. Nice fabwork and execution. Subbed.

Can you pick the bumper in?

I always used very thick grease.

Awesome!!

Looks great ! Just don’t drive on the street if you value life.

I have a 77 924. The best way is to go euro bumper. I did it, way better as you can imagine.

Us specs ruins any car

I ran the part number on those shocks through the VW / Audi parts catalog, and interestingly they aren't used on anything! The bumpers on my 88 Audi 5000 mount in the same way, though on that car the 5mph bumpers look a lot better integrated with the car.

That came out nice! And they probably still offer more protection than the euro bumpers.

👍👍

just discovered your channel and enjoying thoroughly . subbed . send more Pantera vids ... windows would be good , but whatever you want to do is fine with me . only be sure to give it a long test drive when you're done ~ cheers

how long into this did you think why?

enjoyed watching you do this, but the front bumper looks terrible, get the Euro ones and do it right.

Might have to do this on my 944. Thanks.

Nice job. Looks great. But I would have lost that shipping loop. It's an eyesore.

Whats the benefit lowering?

I wonder what is below the black bumperettes. It would look even better without it. I guess there would be some mounting holes that needs to be blocked?

Now just pull the black rubber strips off the bumpers.

European spec bumpers and brackets are just SO much better. I had several 924s (including the 'S' model) in the past - great cars. Even drove my last one from the UK to the Nurburgring for a few days. 😊

Looks much better 👏👏👏

Did your clock tick before the repair? Mine does tick when installed but doesn't move. Have had it apart to look for broken pieces but didn't find any. Might just try with installing new capacitors since they're cheap, just hate taking it apart :P

Is year decal allowed to be in center of plate? It’s on lower corner in my state. License actually comes from factory with first year painted there. To encourage folks to put next years sticker in corner.

A point of concern with this modification is that you are disabling a safety item with the vehicle. Removing the shocks means any and all impact forces get translated directly to the structure of the car. This is a risk you accept by doing this so just be aware. Thanks for watching!

Awesome job man, I need to build or buy a set ❤

You guys in the US really got the misfortune of bad looking bumpers. That mod makes it look so much better, almost like the ROW bumpers👌

Great vid.👍

Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 SO much better.

Looks good. This video first had me thinking "man I kinda miss working on cars", then by the end with nothing lining up reminded me why I stick with motorcycles lol. Can't argue with the results of patience and determination tho. Nice work 👍

looks 1000x better! Would a finger sander have been a better option for cleaning out the aluminum over the carbide? If you had one anyway... lol

Nice work....looks sooooo much better, especially the rear 👌

Some difference that made BJ I like it 👍👌🔧🔧🔧

First 👍

My kinda dude, i see that klr650

Awesome!😊

Beautiful car bj 👍👌🔧🔧🔧❤️

That's wicked, cheers...

👍😎👍

Don’t forget to tighten the alternator pivot bolts! Especially since they were loose in the alternator holes. Long ago I had an airplane where those bolts were not tightened. The alternator worked for awhile, but it moved around hogging out the mounting holes. The movement flexed the output wire, which broke, at night, in the middle of Nebraska, on a weekend.

very nice car, what colour is that?

mmmmmmmpantera
