Last Sunday drove 600 miles from Melbourne to Sydney (Australia)- for PCNSW concours and a few other things.
Drive easy, uneventlful, but boring on the highway.
During a leg and back stretch break - I took the pic below - near Canberra.
Clutch and front bumper days.

Vipergreen: today: clutch didn´t open in stop and go City Stuttgart, bumper will been fit to RS look

Time again to charge the batts, iron out the flat-spots on the ol' tires, re-cycle some hydrocarbons, so --- took us a little drive
Nice day, traffic not too carnivorous, but --- got jumped by one o' those pesky Infiniti Coupes . . .
7k + 3rd gear = . . .

They will leak if not tight. That's how this all started. :o
Old grease was exceptionally clean so I used MRE (Mountain Redneck Engineering-pat.pending) to clean out the old stuff. Roland Kussmaul would break me if I used his preference. Since this ain't no African Safari car I'll save my money for Krytox :eek: on the next full rebuild. I already use it on BMW splines and it's great but they do not give it away. Nice if you're getting on the factory tab, I reckon.
When I did the RS-look resto, I flared the stock rear bumpers as I wanted the Touring look. At that time the correct RS rear bumper trim pieces were either unavailable or too expensive (same thing) so I simply cut the standard trim in two pieces, upper and lower. It never looked right, but I learned to live with it. Of late the trim has become available (and less costly). I was afraid though that the correct pieces wouldn't fit my flared bumpers as I had just eyeballed the flare when I bent and welded up the curve to meet the rear fender. After hemming and hawing, I took the chance and ordered the trim, and lo! they fit! They look much, much better than my original hack job.
nice- what was your source for these?
Thanks, I got them from Aase:
