bad repairs uncovered

Post by stevepsj413 » Sat Dec 28, 2013 5:04 pm

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!

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!
