Here's how the PO filled the towing eye hole, with a sheet metal patch brazed on the inside.

After some grinding to clear up the hole. Looks a bit ragged.

This is a chrome bumper, but the PO attacked it with sandpaper before painting it black.

The rear bumper has a few minor dings but is in good shape overall.

The front bumper also looked pretty good--at first.

The inside also shows how the fender got crimped.

After removing the rest of the bondo, it looks pretty ugly.

Hi Bob,

I "might" have a set of bumpers for you. They were painted body color when I bought the car - but there is usually a reason they got painted.

Let me know if you want to have a look.

Today, I remember to strip the engine lid (torsion bars, latch peg)--and also made sure it had no surprises.

Spent a few frustrating hours working on the front bumper end today.

Here is how much the end profile is off, compared to the other side.

The inside view shows the severe crimping.

I used my press to try to unfold some of the damage, with partial success.

I got the profile a bit better, but still off.
