Bumper restoration continues
 

Finally got some good weather and warmer temps. Started on the body work today. It is starting to look OK. I have a very long way to go I know that but it is an encouraging start.

Just need to show patience

Regards

A reminder
 

Just as a reminder I posted this pic a while ago. It is the before picture of the drivers side rear bumper. Later on this afternoon I hope that I will post the same spot after the body work and first coat of primer is done but before paint

Why the new post?

Because I could not find my old one

This the first go round with spot putty and primer. Keep in mind I am not trying to turn this ino a show car. Just tying to male it look ok and get the rust under control

As to your progress, it looks decent enough now, but I can assure you it won't last. As stated already, you would have been money and time (as time is money) ahead to purchase a rust free used bumper. Even with a rattle can paint job, it would have looked better and actually lasted.

My rear bumper has a bit of a list; about 1/2 to 1" more on the passenger side than the driver. I pulled the bumper off but can't quite figure out how to adjust. Is there a mount that allows you to slide up?

I could be wrong, but I think it's just in and out... does it look bent?

The car was rear ended once; maybe they didn't change out mount
