Revitalization of the bumper. - Toyota Sprinter Trueno, 1.6 L, 1992
when the body was completed, it was necessary to buy a bumper, but there was no money, I decided to restore the old bumper from idleness at work, it was broken 150 times and soldered onto the mesh, removed the entire mesh, it fell apart completely ...
I soldered it using a new technology, at first I just wanted to restore it and drive it ...
Then I decided to add a little lip, everything is knurled, foam, shape, fiberglass / resin, with a matrix until I bother ...
I put a little putty, vycherkal a little and decided to ride a little with him, check if it's not low, doused with a spray can and so all summer and drove
The soldering technology is simple, nothing clever, the main thing is to pick up the same material from which you will grind the solder, for example, PP is marking plastic, then sharpen the rods from such material and solder with a soldering iron along the crack, then make the seams perpendicularly, for strength and that's it, if to do it correctly in terms of strength is not inferior to the whole, generic dudes who solder then bring them the same soldered bumpers after a new blow and a new crack goes next to the old one ...
You also sin with a hairdryer if you lead it and, for example, pull it out with a wooden block, spinning the desired shape ... Although you can not bother with breeding, it is all the same to cover it up with green paint, and then it is all the same to knock it around and all over again)))
