Front Bumper Progress...
#1
As many of you may remember, I had a towtruck tear up my front bumper two years ago, which I left for a year, then I ran my car into the front of the Wal-Mart I worked at :( The result?

I decided to set to work repairing it and changing the only part about it I disliked, the friggen plate recess and the moldings that lead to the signal lights.

I used a flexible compound specifically made to fix urethane (you can get it at marine supply stores or some Canadian Tire stores) I reinforced the rear with some glass as well to ensire it wouldn't crack again.

Primered up, you can see the uneven spots, but I decided I would not be doing anymore until after I saw how it held up to -40C and winter crap. Winters tossed 20K at the car this year, I have to make a trip to and from edmonton bi-weekly and it's the only highway competent vehicle I own (the Ranger is not a good highway contraption) Here's how it held up.

Aside from an issue I'm having with the primer not sticking in places to the pinhole filler, it's holding up really well. I think with a final round of prep and the appropriate lip spoiler, it should be ready to be reassembled. All I need is a new lower grille. This one was damaged while sitting in my buddy's garage :rolleyes: He also almost junked my foglights when he forgot what they were from...

Anyways this is the eventual goal, I've posted it before. I've got the fenderwork all ready to go, the bumper is easy to finish, then I'll repaint it all.
