Title: Can we rebuild him?
Post by: gords on February 01, 2007, 22:10:59

The previous owner fitted a Guardian rear bumper and decided that it would look better if the rear bottom-most part of the wing/panel was removed. You can kind of see what I mean in this picture (http://members.mud-club.com/profiles/gords/gallery/Itscomingback/0/9d09e0cad13fbddaeffede542b5f3d62.jpg/).

this (http://members.mud-club.com/profiles/gords/gallery/suspensionlift/0/335492-1118781984./) is what it used to look like.

It has been trimmed off right below the plastic trim. Would it be possible to reconstruct it either with steel/aluminium plate or chequer plate? Maybe attach it underneath the plastic trim?

Rebuilding the panel neatly will be differcult
Maybe some chequer plate would suffice?

That's pretty much what I was thinking - as it would match the rest then!

Or find someone who is scrapping a disco

Cut the rear bit from the donor disco and rivit at the back of the trim

Gords ... what about thick black rubber - like a mud-flap material? That would also stop any problems with "bending" the new bit as it would have no strength.....

Everyone has different views - personally, I'd rather the panels were still there :wink:

Too late to reply ??

This what we did to our D2 rear bumper.
Maybe you can extend it further
