I talked with Nestor yesterday. Ha said the beat early front bumper I sent didn't need welding and he'd get it done for the $250 price. The entire front plate area was beat in. We'll see...

Ha... I saw that one there Gint. It was pretty beat up. I took my picture in the garage at night.. can't really tell the difference berfore after...... not very good pictures- but as for the bumpers there are no ripples in them now. I'll post them anyway. All said and done, for the price I think it was a great job. Not concours stuff but my intention for a weekend driver... good enough for me given the wrinkles I had on my front bumper.

Ok.. here are the pictures, and friggin shiza... I drop the camera and screwed it up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I got the new bumper top from mikey 914. That part was the shiz for the money. You can see in the picture showing the ripples in my front were pretty bad. Gint's bumper was worse. Sorry the after pictures aren't great but it was every bit as good as bangers,(Chris)

Thanks for setting up the deal Chris. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) I'll post some in the sun .....given a different camera now. Anybody know what to do when the jpegs. are over the limit size on this site?

Just my last post on this. Here is a pic... hope it loads okay of my car after the redone bumper. The new bumper top pad is from Mikey914. Once I get all the new rubber on, it'll be time to strip it off and repaint! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Wow. That looks great! If they can straighten that, mine should look pretty good.

I thought it might be here Friday, but it didn't show. Should on the front porch after I get back from PullnSave later this afternoon.

The painted bumpers for you have been off my car for over a week. Unless you want a late chrome set for a little more $$ and/or trade bait. We'll need to discuss that offline though.

Still waiting for that brown truck...

Bumper arrived today. Not show quality for sure, but good daily driver quality.

However, if I were local I'd take this back and have it redone. They did an acceptable job straightening the punched in center section (plate area), but there are at least 10 small pits in the chrome across the entire center section between the grill openings. One of those even has a small dent or impression. I guess it will have to do because I don't want to spend another $40 to ship there and $50 to ship back. And at least now I can have an early front and rear on the zambeziteen.

I'll try to get pics of the pits later. Not sure they'll show up in pics.

I also thought the straightening was okay for my wrinkles. I think the plating could have been better. I didn't see any pitting in mine but the plating was a little thin IMO.


Anyway, mine is a weekend driver and is garaged, I want to do some driving before the Winter ski season and other projects.

This was the best picture I could get. It's virtually impossible to take pictures of pits in chrome. The chrome itself actually looks better than it does in this picture. But like I said, it's not show quality. Which I'm OK with, but the pits could go.
