It's taken a massive effort to get to this stage, and seeing people appreciate it and wanting to see more couldn't make me happier. Even though each video has its own pace, they all come together in the bigger picture, so be sure to check out the other videos in the series!
I´ll keep my eyes peeled for the next episodes, it's all looking great so far, it's different but in my opinion it looks better than the original (bland) bumper. Subscribed!!
I stumbled across your channel this morning... What a great project. I have thoroughly enjoyed going through your small back catalogue. Keep up with your great content. I have just subscribed.
@CamilSofrag I too used fiberglass behind the bumper after using mesh to plastic weld that in, but in front for imperfections I used upol 7061, great stuff! Along with upol filler primer.
@@CarlosV1.2 You are totally right but I was running out of time... did I took the right decision, most probably not, but there is no turning back now. Next time I'll have to plan better and make sure that I have the right stuff before I begin
Love the idea of blending different cars together to make something special. No need to build from scratch when there are all these wonderful cheap parts out there. Indicators line up with fog lights beautifully. More chance to fit an LED there.
Great video, very informative and the end result fits the line of the car nicely. But @ 12:10 just use WD-40 - spray it, let some time to soak in and wipe off. You might have to rub or scrub a little. Works great with all kinds of stickers and residues.
Great tip. I chose to remove it mechanically because, I intend to paint the car and don't want to use anything that is greasy that could give me a headache later on. I am glad that you've enjoyed this, it will get better :)
I'm working on a similar project for my car. It's a 1998 Lexus ES300 (aka Toyota Windom). I bought a spare bumper from a junkyard and a donor bumper from a 2005 Acura TSX (aka Honda Accord). I was thinking of leaving some plastic from the bumper and using panel bond for my project to ensure a stronger bond between the two bumpers
When I met you, I must admit that I was feeling a bit overwhelmed by everything, but you gave me hope, thank you for your support, it really helped me :)
Amazing work - and I must have found you as doing the same (sort) of bumper project myself. And yes I have found my new part bumper by..............looking at cars. I have also built my own headlights for a total of...................$540, instead of the $3500 for after market ones. Took a lot of thinking..................but got there.
Don't worry, I am no quitter. I've been told to film myself for many years now... But I am here now and dedicated 100% to YT. So hold tight because this build will only going to get better and more interesting.
I will do something with the headlights as well, I don't know if it's going to please you but you can leave a comment what you think about them when I'll get there :)
Thank you, I am not very good at drawing, I could use some practice and get better, but it really helps me to make an idea on how it's going to look like, and if I get excited about the project on paper, then it's going to be way better in reality.
wooooow nice work! i just can't stand theese blocked mesh things in the bumper next to fog lights. Maybe you could think about cutting out the blocked parts?
Later edit: Welcome, I was thinking about that, and one side is open in the bumper. I will cut out the blocked parts as I have a better idea, you can leave a comment when I'll get there :)
Pfff, I'm self funded at this point, so I need to keep thing under control for this project. But I had a word with a local breeding farm and they are cooking some fresh poneys for this project :)
I would not call them dangerous since they are used in motorsport often, but I want to keep the wheels tucked in as mush as possible. In the mean time I've realized that I can install longer log bolts and install the thinnest spacer that clears the caliper carrier, which is a 5mm
Welcome, thank you, I'm glad you like it. As soon as it got on my radar, I said yes, this will be perfect for me, and now as the project has progressed I think I definitely made the right choice
I am curious when you will see this finished, if I managed to change your opinion and maybe you can leave me a comment then with your thoughts. The main reason why I chose this one is because from the side view you can clearly see that the lower end tapers up, and I was looking for something like that because of the cross country theme. If I would have used a bumper that has a lower end, acting as a plough... I need to think about practicality Regardless, thank you and I hope you will enjoy what comes next.
I'm trying to help you since English is not your first language. Don't you mean to say one-OF-a-kind or one OF one, NOT one-OFF target? Just pointing out that extra F so you can correct your thumbnail before it's too late!
Thank you for the heads up, the thumbnail was intended as a play on words, so I've checked and according to google : one-off "something done, made, or happening only once. ". I wanted to say one-off (and the picture would continue ) bumper
Here at 168 subscribers, this channel will blow up! Great work!
Im guessing a Nissan Juke bumper?
2016ish
i was thinking the same thing
100% correct! Surprised he gave you no love for that.
The headlights give it
You are correct, the facelift version
You are about to get popular man. This is exactly what people want to see.

What you did is magic!! The ugly Juke brings a great look on your project car!! The blend is really nice!! ❤
The Juke is not ugly, is just like Marmite, hate it or love it :)
I really like projects like this so I stay tuned and looking forward to see the rear
Welcome, I'm glad you liked it, I hope you've seen the episode with the rear :)
100% nissan juke bumper lol, the weird ugly headlight openings gave it away, good thing you got rid of the ugly half and kept the nicer 1 😎👍🏼
Haha, I can't wait to have the car finished and outside, I really think I made the right choice with the Juke
I´ll keep my eyes peeled for the next episodes, it's all looking great so far, it's different but in my opinion it looks better than the original (bland) bumper. Subscribed!!
I'm glad you've enjoyed it, next one is coming soon.
never watched you before, but this is my type of stuff. so it looks like i'm here to stay
Welcome, I'm glad that you liked the video, it's going to get better
Absolutely brilliant! Never thought something like this would be possible. Can hardly wait to see what comes next.
I stumbled across your channel this morning... What a great project.
I have thoroughly enjoyed going through your small back catalogue.
Keep up with your great content.
I have just subscribed.
Welcome to the channel. Thank you, the catalogue will get bigger :)
you gave a better life to that juke bumper
I am going to take this as, because the bumper was damaged, otherwise it would have ended up being recycled :)))
Cool, I did the same thing for a custom rear bumper with a valance. I hope you are using Upol 7061 and not regular body filler!!
I should have waited a few days for delivery and I was running out of time, I've used fiberglass, but now I can't reverse time..

That toffe wheel is amazing, I was looking for an easy way to remove that stuff for ages.
This is crazy dude good work, just subbed
Welcome to the channel, just wait and see what is coming, it's really going to be crazy :)

Exactly, there are so many options, you just need to choose something that fits into your vision.
keep the work going , i am exited
Welcome to the channel :)
I can't wait for the next episode :)

Thank you, I'm glad you've enjoyed it
Love it, great design and taste!
Welcome :)
Underrated channel! To the sky, crazy guy!
Danke
Suits a nice front lip
Welcome, I chose this bumper because of the lack of a lip that would act as a plough if I get off the road. I hope you will enjoy the build.
I'm working on a similar project for my car. It's a 1998 Lexus ES300 (aka Toyota Windom). I bought a spare bumper from a junkyard and a donor bumper from a 2005 Acura TSX (aka Honda Accord).

Welcome, there are several ways that you can get away with it. This is just how I've done it this time.
finally a video i watched without skiping ...
Great video, keep up the good work 👍
When I met you, I must admit that I was feeling a bit overwhelmed by everything, but you gave me hope, thank you for your support, it really helped me :)
@CamilSofrag told you that this was a great idea and that you would do well, keep up the great work and I always look forward to the new content. 😊

Usually it takes a lot of head scratching but I think it's always worth it. Welcome to the channel

Thank you, I'm glad you like it so far, it will only get better.
Very nice!
I'm glad you've enjoyed it.
AMAZING!!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, you better post the progress on this and not leave it halfway. This series could be your breakthrough
Don't worry, I am no quitter. I've been told to film myself for many years now... But I am here now and dedicated 100% to YT.
So hold tight because this build will only going to get better and more interesting.
@CamilSofrag now that's what I'm talking about. I'm praying for your success. Good luck my friend!!!
I put an Audi A4 bumper lower part to my VW Transporters bumper …
how did it turned out, loads of attention ?
@ well
Dude if you find a way to flatten the headlights a bit to match the body line of the car.... the transformation would be insane
I will do something with the headlights as well, I don't know if it's going to please you but you can leave a comment what you think about them when I'll get there :)
First!
Your drawings are awesome make sure you keep them all they’re art pieces
Thank you, I am not very good at drawing, I could use some practice and get better, but it really helps me to make an idea on how it's going to look like, and if I get excited about the project on paper, then it's going to be way better in reality.
Upload more ❤
I'm working on it :)
the bumper is out of a Nissan Juke!!?
Welcome, yes it is the FL one
Так бампер не сращивают. Отвалится при вибрациях.
Таким методом можно сделать только мастер модель для дальнейшего изготовления из стеклопластика.
i wanted to do this to a Honda del sol
go for it :)
Subbed 👍🏽

Wood screws aren't self tappers😊
I'll have a look at the box what they're for :)) . Next time I'll just say screws instead :)
the bumpers is from Nissan juke
That's it
Classic hot rodding. No need to spend a fortune on aftermarket stuff, just go to the junkyard, find something that looks cool, and make it work.
I thought Nissan Juke from the 3 rounded holes?
Welcome, the Juke it is
Obviously a juke
There's no other car like it :))
Whats next? VW 1.8 Turbo swap?
Pfff, I'm self funded at this point, so I need to keep thing under control for this project.
But I had a word with a local breeding farm and they are cooking some fresh poneys for this project :)
Mk1 Nissan Juke bumper?
Welcome to the channel, yes, the fecelift version
Nissan juke
That's it
sub number 853!
Welcome and thank you.
Nissan juke?
Welcome to the channel, correct answer, you've just won 1 Like
One of , once off
100% juke front bumper
That's it
Please dont Cut the Metal pieces off. Please Bend it Till it brake
Dont use Spacers if you can get away with it. They are dangerous and your tire wear will be terrible
I would not call them dangerous since they are used in motorsport often, but I want to keep the wheels tucked in as mush as possible. In the mean time I've realized that I can install longer log bolts and install the thinnest spacer that clears the caliper carrier, which is a 5mm
Nissan juke bumper
That's it
Used the worlds ugliest car's bumper to make something amazing (nissan juke bumper)
Welcome, thank you, I'm glad you like it.
As soon as it got on my radar, I said yes, this will be perfect for me, and now as the project has progressed I think I definitely made the right choice
Really unfortunate you chose such an ass ugly bumper to replace the great looking factory one. Cool project otherwise
I am curious when you will see this finished, if I managed to change your opinion and maybe you can leave me a comment then with your thoughts.

Nissan juke
That's it
