bad repairs uncovered
Just taken the back bumper off my project samurai and found this previous bad repair. Although I like the use of plasterers angle bead and silicone sealant to repair holes i don't think ill carry this trend on, i wonder where this cowboy tied his horse up while he did this repair!

Re: bad repairs uncovered
Surprised he even bothered. Seen a lot worse on a rear bumper, most get binned and replaced by something stronger anyway.
Still a bloody crap attempt to fix it!

I would have just bought a new bumper, not like they are expensive or hard to find
