Original Rear Bumper Restoration

• Page 1 of 1
Just wondering if what I have just removed from my car (with the nice little 'lip' all the way round the bottom) is scrap, or is any company/person able to restore/repair it. I have a repro one which seems to fit moderately well, but it's definitely a little different.
Where, then, lies the answer? In choice. Which shall it be: bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life?

Yep........that can be repaired. Unless you can form and weld you'll need a shop to do it. At what cost?
As to that, I got nothin'.

Just to give you an idea of what can be done, here's a short video from one of your countrymen.

suspect it will be cheaper to get a better s/h original and rechrome . That's what i've ended up doing.
I had a bumper which was holed but not as extensively as yours . What i noticed was how light it was when compared to same bumper without corrosion ...i.e. there was thinning as well as the holes .
