Bumper bar

Post by retrokid1983 » Mon May 16, 2022 6:31 pm

What a fight to get the rear bar out of the bumper! I've had to drill every single screw out to detach it. Unfortunately the end result wasn't pretty. The last owner snapped a stud on the main bracket and filled the bar with foam and fiberglass - exactly what you don't want when the metal is already corroding to dust.

Does anyone have one lying around in a better state than this one?
