so now that its a little warmer here in chicago, i wanted to get this thing repaired. me and my dad decided to take it off to observe the damage done to the rear reinforcement and the results were not pretty.

so as we looked on in disbelief on the damage i had a great idea on how to remove the rather large dent in the reinforcement..(see below)

This pic shows where the damage was and how much it pulled out. overall it came out about 2 1/2 inches just from slowly bending it forward while tied to a tree

as for the bent bumper cover we decided, sice it is plastic, to just heat it and bend it back to its normal place, all we did was boil a pot of water and pour it on the cover to make it soft and then clamp and mold it till it looked almost perfect.

Before

After!!

Overall a great improvement, my tails are back to flush with the rear of my body and the bumper has so much less of a dent im astonished at the results myself. any questions feel free to ask.

oh and the total cost of this project was about 40$ for the jb weld for the tail bolts that broke loose and the new piece of foam for the bumper. Better than paying almost 400$ for brand new stuff from the dealer and 200$ from a junkyard for everything!!

How do you cure lip sag, on a silvia turbo bumper? this is an old photo but its saggin a lot worse now. and the bottom is f*cked up

any ideas

ur front end sits weird.... left sides off..makes everything else look weird..

as far as ur bumper..
try heating it up and setting it str8..

too much heat nd you'll b looking at repainting...

I am going to heat it up and press a board against it, so it straigtens

When I saw this pic, I thought to myself, "If his KA pulls that tree out of the ground, I'm gonna die laughing..."
