The bumpers on this vehicle are not pretty and need to be replaced. Wondered if any of you might have any "not in serviceā robust steel bumpers I might repair/paint before I go to get another mortgage to buy new!
the chrome and steel bumpers offered on the vanagon from factory were the same gauge metal.. i assume you have chrome bumpers that are bent up. ive had good luck straightening them w a block of wood and mallet and sheet metal wide vice clamps. sand them and spray them black. then you can save up for some SA or van cafe bumpers. |
