I'm working on my 1974 2.0 and need some advice. The previous owner painted the front and rear bumpers black. I hated them this color and wanted them back to their original chrome so I stripped the paint off only to find that they have a few dents covered with bondo which was the reason they were painted black!
I'm trying to figure out whether it makes more sense to have these rechromed -- they're in pretty good shape other than the small dings. The chrome plater quoted me a price of $400 each for the front and rear bumpers. I still need to get the top bumper pads for both of these bumpers so I'm quickly approaching $1200 just to get rid of the black paint -- Doh!!!! Or is there a source for new or aftermarket chrome bumpers somewhere? Anyone have any used ones out there? Any thoughts? |
