bumper and eyelashes - Toyota Carina E, 1.6 L, 1993
Let's start with the bumper, I won't post the first changes, since there isn't much to look at, I’ll write about the second stage of its changes now. Just like in the story with the thresholds, I drove into the market, took an overlay on a ten-point bumper, cut off unnecessary and increased the middle, since it was a bit short, cut off the lower part from the drain along the middle and fitted a pad on the fiberglass, with the help of pieces of cardboard and the same fiberglass, increased the missing elements.He suffered for a long time with cracking of the joint between the drain and the pad, since the resin on the stock bumper does not hold on, well, it seems in the end I won. There was no desire to do anything in the middle, and there was no mood, so I traveled with the primed one for about a month, but when I did it, it still did not work out to the end, so now another rework awaits him, almost finished,Also, in the process of resting from the bumper, cilia were made, by the way I will alter them a little, the optics were replaced with depot black chrome with turn signals. Quarrel for the low quality of some photos, some of them were shot on a cell
Well, I would not say that it’s cheap, these sets with fiberglass and putty alone took how much time and effort it took, the most important thing is how much time and effort, the joke is that I spent three or four months in this form, but more on that in the next entry
well, then I drive to the sidekick the repairer, I will consult and unsubscribe to you))) suddenly this information will be useful to you)))
Well, you can try, especially if you spliced ​​it correctly. You just need a competent way to find, find out the material from which the stock is made and tuned, well, and a reliable way of connecting, for example, on the internet, so everything is real)
listen friend. But if you take the tuned bumper from the basin at once, cut off the upper part and take the stock bumper - remove the lower part - and this whole thing is to correctly spliced? well + finishing touches and fiberglass, etc. - what do you think is real? I just have a friend, he lives in Samara, he has such tuned bumpers for basins there are just a penny, from 800 - 2000r. What do you think, is it worth the trouble? And I think I can solve the problem with the joint (resin, etc.) with the help of my bodybuilder sidekick. He told me not so long ago of two stock bumpers, one assembled on the last car - the car, ideally, is still running, from the other owner.
In my opinion, I took from a dozen on the market, only if I spliced ​​without joints with the stock, then only for the manufacture of the matrix, because the putty at the junction cracks. What I didn’t think, the resin does not really stick to the stock, over time, at least polyester leaves.
on the first photo - where did you buy such a cool?))) or did you do it yourself?) where did I read that from some kind of basin? please tell me. Advance ATP
I don’t remember already. There are two repair kits for bumpers (resin, fiberglass included), well putties of the bank, the pad itself, and painting.
