Mas Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 body side moulding tape/ gaffer tape bsmt is best but surface must be clean. Nice one Dave, do you think I'd need fibreglass aswell as this? I need to stick it back together from inside the bumper and from outside just touch up the rips and cracks with some paint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Just about finished fixing my Bomex. Its come up a treat with fibre glass and filler. It was in 3 pieces but rivited it back together where possibe, then put fible gass on and grinded off the rivvets. We used filler to get the shape back and smoothed it off. For the bit that was missing we put tape on the front as a template then put the fibre glass on the back, took the tape off and did the filler etc. Hopefully it will be back on in time for JAE looking as good as new.That was the way we did it, hopefully it should work for you.

supra steveo Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 if i were you i would get some fibre glass resin and some matting and smack some of that on the back, then use body filler on the front after its been sanded down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
