  • Tin Can Rebuild update

    Well I've gone further in rebuilding the front end - finally got the fenders, lights, and bumper back on
    First some mods to the bumper
    Here is the final product - I tried a polishing agent to clean it up - it looks better but I am still going to paint it one day

    I wasnt happy with using spacers to make the lights flush so I modified the cut outs. They are epoxied in place - I will smooth the light opening and bumper when I paint it


    I also moved the licence plate it was a pretty simple mod the pardest part was getting the bolts out with out snapping them.

    And finally its comming together - as you can see I still have some final tweeking to do to get the left side to sit right

        If you used some kind of polish on the unpainted bumper, be sure to clean and degrease the hell out of it before you paint it. Otherwise the paint won't stick.
        If it has boobs or wheels, sooner or later you're going to have trouble with it.

          Paint is a ways out but I will for sure use a degreaser and adhesion promoter
