bashbar project
Re: bashbar project
Damn, that's a pretty sick setup.
Re: bashbar project
You should start producing them
Re: bashbar project
This was made to fit the bumper exactly, the bumper pretty much snaps on to it and needs minimal securing. So it's not great for mass production
Re: bashbar project
Looks like quality fab, nice job.
One thing to think about however, is that if you do street driving or track driving with that thing, the lower bar is really low. This means anything you hit will catch on that lower bar and not give. Remember that the corolla chassis is super weak, and you've now connected a metal bar that hangs 2" off the ground to your chassis. Be careful.

FLAWLESS VICTORY
Re: bashbar project
it's 3"s off the ground. it looks alot lower in pics.
the way it's built it'll tilt under any hard hits, plus, most of the front part of my corolla is tube so it's a bit stronger than stock as well as easier to fix.

Re: bashbar project
finally got around to fitting my quick-latch quick releases to the front aero.
i needed to weld a tab to the bash bar for the male piece to mount to.
i haven't done too much mig work, so it was a little left handed.
then i mounted the bash bar back onto the levin and did a little measuring for where to mount the receiver bits to the fiberglass. i was actually surprised to find out that if you measure twice and cut once, it actually comes out right the first time.
