I have a front bumper from 75-76 that would match the original one from her car.  It is only the bumper bar (not the rubber pieces) and has a few small dings in it but overall it is in good condition.  The one I have on my car has already been re-chromed and so I really don't have a need for the spare one that I have.  If Jai wants it she can have it for the cost of shipping to her location. 

Hope that helps.

I dug this out. Your welcome to it. I think this is the passenger's side? I also have the driver's side. Goes in front of the tire.

Thanks Cliff.  What is this part name?  The right side in front of the tire is damaged, again I don't  know name.

Thanks Mike.  I'm  making a list of offers to give to body shop.  It would depend for this bumper, if the rubber can be found.  I do want  '76 bumper on her, getting rid of the '77 wrong one.

Wow!  Good fortune!!!  I called Quality Auto Parts, and they have the complete 1976 CORRECT bumper for RedBird.  Also, I asked them about the headlight bezel  (sugar scoop) and they have that too.  I forgot to ask them about the fender tho.  The bumper and bezel are in perfect condition.

So I then called Rex at the body shop and gave him the info.  He didn't  even flinch when I gave him the quoted prices.  Which are $785 for the bumper, and $220. for the bezel etc.  Rex asked me if he was able to pin down a fender from them, would I be OK with him ordering the 3 from Quality Parts?  No problem on my score!  Do it!

Looks like things might be heating up for RedBird's repairs soon!  I am so excited!!!

Any information you all might be able to share with me, I would be very appreciative.  Like things needed to complete the installation.  Things not included but needed for the complete repair.

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy...............

Did you see my passenger's side lower fender that fits behind the tire? You can have it.

It's in that post Mike started for your car repairs.

It's this post, me dumb arse! Post #14.

[Redwing]

Hahaha...

It depends if RedBird needs the plate that is between this/these 2 part(s), there is a complete set of 3 on ebay.  I already noted it to Rex  at the body shop.  If it does not need the plate, I might take you up on your offer!  Thanks so much.

I'm so excited!!!

Yeah I guess 3 sounds better, 2 sides and the center valence.  I have the sides, the center valence is a firm backing for the air damn I put on so it's still in place.  And the plate, I can only think he's talking about the inner fender?

That's the one that is supposed to be on her car IIRC. If the rear one has the rounded corners then she may want the one from ebay so it matches the rear.

Here is a photo of the corner of my rear bumper.  Is it the rounded one?

Thanks for your help.

This shows the difference in between '74.5 - '76 and the 'accordion" that was put on '77 through '78.

So yes, your's is rounded (I think).

Yes Jai, rounded bumper. Here is an example pic.  Don't forget the headlight  ring  https://zcardepot.com/headlight-trim-ring-pair-oem.html and maybe the headlight housing https://zcarsource.com/headlight-assembly-280z-75-78-right-used.
