I was able to obtain a 'new' fiberglass/carbon-fiber rear bumper to replace the temporary steel bumper that's been on my 91 van since I've owned it (6 or 7 years now). My van would now have a rear bumper to match the original front fiberglass bumper. What a treat for the van. There was a small blemish on the 'new' rear fiberglass bumper and with the help of some listees, I was able to go at it with a BONDO fiberglass repair kit from Canadian Tire. I did such a good job with the Repair Kit, and the rust coloured hole filler and grinding and sanding and priming and painting, that I just could not stop........ So, off comes the front bumper repair a few blimishes on it, Mix, fill, grind, mix, fill, grind, fill, sand, fill, sand ...... prime, prime, paint, paint, paint..... OH what a lovely bumper. I can't stop! off comes the radiator grill, the headlight grill. prime, prime, paint, paint, paint. OH what a lovely black. HELP!!! .................. does anyone know how to undo a straight jacket??? Malcolm
