New rear bumper in the works...plus many other mods

[arcano]

The Panamanian Pathy is turning out really good. A rear bumper with swing out tire carrier is being built by a local shop. Here are some pictures:

Thanks for the suggestion Pezzy. I just opened a photobucket account, so I can share more pictures. Also, many thanks to all the fellow forum members for all the tips and suggestions...your help has been invaluable!

 

This is what the bumper is supposed to look like when finished, based on my original drawings (done with Google SketchUp)

 

 

And, some more pictures of the Pathy:

So, what do you think???

Nice looking setup. I am amazed you found room under the hood for the air supply. My 03 might have room for a toothbrush with all the junk required for emission control.
