Thanks everyone for the info. I'll give the bumper a go.

Mr48 - It's a 4-1/2 inch chop. We angled the front posts instead of lengthening the roof, so it ended up a bit lower in the front. Real tough getting the glass to fit! Looks like yours is chopped too. Have you got any pics that you can share?

I'll be driving to her first show 'n shine in two weeks. Then I need to get it inspected for proper registration. Will probably need to get the wipers working and add an e-brake, but I hope it passes. I wanna drive it while I'm finishing it.
