mangled hood, left front fender, grille, and light cluster. The front bumper
has a scratch (deep and wide) on the top... Oil cooler and radiator are
perforated.
But it has rust--bad; rotted through back floor in places
I'm not aware that there is one.
I can't speak for the collective group, but unless this place starts to turn
into CL I don't have a problem with it. I know there are people on the list
that trade and sell regularly, so what better place to do it?

In curious as to if anyone here has attempted plastic bumper repair using
plastic welding, the 3M chemicals, or any other approaches.
If so, would you mind sharing your experiences with the group?

What I am saying is I have never seen it work very well, so you
just replace the bumper.

Fair enough. I thought you were being a smart alek.
Point well taken.
With that in mind, I hear a lot of bd things about aftermarket bumper covers.
