Dirty Rockstar Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Got the front bumper of the Cutty 95% ready to be put up on the car. There are a few scratches and scuffs I need to take care of, but that can wait until it goes on and gets cleaned up. Looks real good, and I am pleased with the result. Pics. Bondo'd a touch of severe bolt removal-related damage: Here's a pic of the pass. side which was so badly damaged, I had to have a friend at a body shop fill it and prime it. Came out pretty nice: First coat of 'Rental Car Green': Some angles to show the blend work. I used flash for a couple to really bring the flaws out: After a couple coats of clear. Again, I used flash for these shots: An idea. It is a touch too small for the area. This is a backup plan. I have a better, primary plan: This face in your rearview no more: Bueno.

Dirty Rockstar Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 THanks guys. I can't put it on yet because my pass. fender is rotting from the inside out. If I go to removed the bolts, I'll twist a hole in my fender. The only time I find a car in my color, it suffers from the same problem as me, on the same side, someone else took it already, or some ass hat damaged it. I know after I find a new fender, a fucking BILLION will show up all over the fucking place.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Rockstar Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 I'm lost. What all did you do? Somewhere around the site are pictures of this bumper cover I picked up from a salvage yard. the edge where it meets the fender were pretty marred from the removal process.. SO I had to fill the damaged areas in, sand, prime, and paint.. ..The last picture of the car is as it sits.. The new cover is in my garage, awaiting a new pass. fender... ..Bottom line: I fixed and painted a bumper cover to fix damage to my current one.

5speedz34 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 How did you fix the holes you tore through? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Rockstar Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 THey weren't 'Holes' per se, they were more like cracks in the plastic cover.. I just used a little bit of filler and hardener on the side I patched myself, because the biggest of them were about the with of my pinky finger.. The other side had deep cracks which I had a body shop fill in for me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
