This will have fiberglass matting on the back side of the joints to give it strenght.
The white bits are plastic just to help the joints stick before the fiberglass is added.

Starting to take shape,under the bar at each side where it starts to go down ,a filler piece will be made up for both sides to run to the bottom.

On the uprights ,a filler piece has to be made and smoothed in.

Ok time for another update(with lots of piccys)been doing 10 mins here and there on the bumper when i get a chance.
Started to make the lower filler pieces ,making a template to shape.

Will then use this 4mm thick rigid plastic cut to shape.
Name:  bonnetinpaint239.jpg
Views: 124
Size:  70.7 KB
Shape then marked out on the plastic and cut out.
Name:  bonnetinpaint241.jpg
Views: 118
Size:  69.8 KB
This is then bonded into position and the same process used for the other side.
Name:  frontbumper004.jpg
Views: 114

Then the top sections are marked out in the same way .

Plastic is now keyed up both sides with some 180grit paper(lower pieces are done aswell)
Name:  frontbumper010.jpg
Views: 134

These are bonded into position,also keying the area on the bumper where they sit.

These also bridge the gaps where the bumper was cut.

Ground down the joint on the front ,still needs feathering with a d.a. then i will apply the filler.Also wanted to brace the lower section ,as it was out of line and also a bit flexible.
