Re: Y60 Rear Bumper and corner chop

The next step was to complete the welding on the bumper pieces, and then prep for paint. After that all I had time and energy left for was to cut cardboard templates for the filler plates. This morning I started by painting the bumper corners. But I ran out of paint and had to dash to Builders for s...
