Front grille repair
Hello everyone! Just thought I’d share the repair on my front grille that I’ve been working on recently.
Ever since I’ve had the car the front grille has been broke right at the marker light on the drivers side and has been dangling around by a piece of wire. (you can kinda see it in the first pic) As I am trying to save and didn’t feel like buying a brand new one I decide to try my hand at repairing it! Once I removed the grille I found more cracks as well as the plastic brackets broken. I would highly recommend permatex plastic welder pic below (thanks @Dave 74 Dart for the find of the product) as I used it to glue the entire marker light section back together as well as the brackets and cracks. Knock on wood so far it seems super strong!! I then repainted everything... let’s just say if “paint by numbers” aren’t your thing you might just want to buy a new grille
I just used an aluminum metallic paint for the silver sections and a semi gloss black...
I’m sure some members wouldn’t like using those colours but they are close enough for me!!
