SOOO BIG's new look.
Bumpers, right fender and hood repainted and buffed. Balance of finish was restored with Clay-Bar. New 5 piece bumper trim chrome installed. Replaced 3/8" belt trim and rear hatch emblems. ![]() Chrome bumper pieces from WCSUPLIERS were below wholesale on closeout. Other suppliers were asking a lot more, but they're fazing out their PT stuff. Front/rear bumper inserts, $79.95 #31290155934 Rear bumper center piece, $64.95 #313144465373 Couldn't resist at this price. Excellent fit. Great look. thumbnail_20201229-123610750-HDR(3).jpgthumbnail_20201229-123557510-HDR(2).jpg thumbnail_20201229-123646789-HDR(4).jpgthumbnail_20201229-123718466-HDR(5).jpg thumbnail_20201229-123741389-HDR(11).jpgthumbnail_20201229-123749415-HDR(12).jpg thumbnail_20201229-123844233-HDR(7).jpg five piece bumper trim.jpg

Got around to my other MOT bits today, a pair of lower arms and both of the track rods at the ends of the rack. Originals so no flats for easy removal with a spanner - had to weld the inner ball joint together, refit the track rod end lock nut,weld it on and remove from that point with a deep 23mm socket. New ones have flats for future removal but what a PIA although I didn't even break the anti roll bar links as I copper greased them last time.
Tracking first, then the MOT again. Last edited by Alfie1; 02 Jan 2021 at 03:24 pm. Reason: missed a word |

Aubrey successfully reinstalled the 3/8" hood chrome belt trim aligned with bottom edge of hood.
It now clears the front hood emblem. That was to be the last work on SOOO BIG. IMG-20210108.jpgIMG.jpg Unfortunately While still in the shop the starter failed so we had to sit it out at Aubrey's over the weekend. IMG-20210111-0.jpgIMG-202101.jpg With my USAA Road Side Assistance I arranged a flat bed pick up this morning to transport SOOO BIG across town to have a new starter installed. Will finish Tuesday. 202101.jpgpt back.jpg No matter what, these little hic-ups sure beat monthly payments on a new car that wouldn't be as much fun to drive as SOOO BIG.

Wow, I'd need some new emblems to, where did you get them?

the original factory chrome grill, a unique look. SOOO BIG'S original factory chrome grill had been damaged. I installed a standard grill and my son Steve gave me the first after market chrome grill set he'd had on his PT. Unfortunately, over the years a few of the retaining tabs failed, the adhesion of the 3m retaining strips weakened and the lower grill fell off. Needing a replacement, at quite a savings I acquired an NOS set from another PTer. They're still available on ebay. (see attached ebay add) To prevent that from happening again, I secured the grills with hex head screws. As a back up I still have the NOS after market upper grill from that set.
