Stop spending all your $ on other peoples bumpers and 9ks, you'll never catch up to my gt28

 

oh you will see!!! now that i have a new job your in for it now...

 

haha, I'll be making my $$ starting in about 2 weeks so im down for whatever. I'll just have to fill up with toluene before we line up again, and make sure i've got my clutch in.

 

Teddy I want dibs on your front 9-3 bumper when you get that Vig bumper squared away. Im on the way to europe now but will be back in July.

 

coop do you need the rear aswell

 

use something with a very good flex component. fiberglass might be a bit too rigid.

 

I would advise against fiberglass. You can get 2-part flex plastic repair products from Wurth or SEM or Lord

teddy, i will arrange to pick up that 9-3 bumper for coops. just shoot me a pm sometime.

 

I used some spot bondo/putty, bumper repair kit epoxy, sand paper, adhesion promoter, and bumper sealer. Check out the thread Summer Vg part project

 

i ended up buying 5 min epoxy plastic weld i might try it first to keep the cracks held together... im a little nervous tho lol

 

yeah i will

 

PM me or catch me on aim BIOTCH!

Same SN as on here.

 

ok i will

 

WOW!!! You guys spend a lot of money on badly damaged bumpers.

This one is very very badly damaged. It's fixable but I don't see paying that much for it to be honest (and this from a guy who need one badly because that's the only missing Viggen body kit part I have missing on my car)

Soccerrplyr's had mostly stratches and pittings and 1 crack only. Yours is going to take a lot of time and effort and the only way to fix it is to plastic weld it and use a reenforcement piece that gets weleded from the back of each crack. If not, the bumper will crack very soon after. Not what you want to see after all the work that is involved. If you had 1 crack you may get away with the glue but it your case I'm affraid the plastic welding is a must due to the location as well.

My $0.02

 

I dunno man, that bumper isnt that bad at all 3-4 physical cracks but a good solid plastic repair product should take care of it no problem. I mean its not like the bumper has to support anything or is under any great deal of stress. Worse case, he could have a body shop fix it up as its going to need to be painted to match his car as well.

 

I counted 7 and possibly an 8th but who's counting!
I fixed many bumpers in my past. This is a badly damaged bumper.
It's the area that is damaged too.
That is worst place. It's thin and the wind generated by driving flexes it a bit and the fact that it barely holds together and with that many cracks doesn't make for a strong bumper once repaired.

It's tempting me to start a group buy to make or import some Viggen bumper covers if people are willing to spend that much money on a bumper cover in that sad shape!!!!!

 

I didn't think spending 150 and a nice weekend day 3hr drive was too bad for myself.

 

just finished it ill post some pics when i get around it.

 

Then my hat off to you sir. That bumper was a lost cause in my book since I have no experience in body work. It would have cost the price of a new bumper to fix.

Great work, that thing was a mess. Now for the pics? lol.

 

ill have zach take some pics in the morning...

 

pics please...

 

zach has them on his comp.
so when ever he gets around to it lol

 

I'm dying to see it man! Lets see em

 

Lets get pics of the whole car now...

 

one of the pics of the repair from carlise for anyone who didnt go. the paint is just a rattle canned for now

Doesn't work too well.
