Yeah a 1971. Will probably sell it. It was local to me and he didnt want much.Originally Posted by BimmrMeUpSnotty
Your a body guy fix it or go new ? been repaired a couple times already. I might have a line on a used one. Supposed to be OEM.

On your old bumper, if the old repairs are holding up, II would just repair that, especially if it’s oem. Nothing wrong repairing a previously repaired part if it can be repaired again. Of course, a lot of it depends on exactly where the cracks are all at. That missing chunk, that’s easy to fab up some abs, epoxy it on reinforced with fiberglass, then the rest is body work and paint. Trickyest part would be the fog light mount, but if you have the pieces still on the foglight, that’s a piece of cake. Body shop will just say replace the whole thing, but since I could easily fix that, yeah, I’d do it myself, for myself.

Thnx Snotty, yeah its OEM. Good friend that went in on the 71 2002 is pretty decent at body work hadn't seen the bumper yet but was all about fixing it.

Yes, it’s not bad fixing it, if you know how to. Just a matter of how soon do you need it done, and having the time to do the repairs. That’s what’s nice about having multiple cars, I just juggle them around. Hell, my green wagon, I got it repainted quite a while ago, the painting is done, car has been in a storage warehouse out in NJ waiting for me to put it all back together. Been over a year. Soon! I will be getting it back together soon…. Lol.

New bumper came in $799. plus tax. Friend thinks we can save the old bumper. So will give that a shot also.
I'll have them paint both at the same time. Can't have too many bumpers.
So far new bumper and new Slimmbones lip I'm at $1100. plus paint.
Luckily I know someone that paints at his home and has a real paint both in his pole barn.

After five years of sitting on a shelf I had my Euro Tails coded and installed.
Thanks to Paul, blackknight530i @ Fixels for coding my Euro Tails.
Everything works as it should.

Hi jp5!
Want to sell me your facelift red top CELIS outers ?!
A little hard to tell from your pic, but did you go with Amber or Clear Tops?!
I want an all red rear lamps cluster, so will likely spray the white of the reverse lights too, but not before I get a photoshop image done first to see if it does look as good as what's in my brain cell currently!

New bumper installed. Not a perfect match so I plan to repaint it I think sometime over the Summer.
The old bumper turned out great will prime that soon but busy with the 2002 lately.
I'm sure I could of got away with using the old bumper but now that I have a spare, I'll never need it.

Paint correction, detailed and waxed. New OEM front fender inner liners installed.
Plan to install a new Slimbones front lip this week also. Paint turned out great I think.
Things to do oil change, coolant flush and maybe have the alignment checked.

Had some PDR work done today. One ding turned into three total. The guy had some talent.
Two cars done for $300. was so worth it.
