Subject: busted your fiberglass bumper/skirts? i'll fix it!! also
fiberglass bumpers FS

folks..did your SO back into that pole at the gas station? or sideswipe your
lower slider door knocking the sideskirts off?   well dont chuck them...  i
will fix them for you...

i do fiberglass bumper repair on the side..send me yours i'll fix it, and
send it back to you..or i will sell you a good one in exchange for your
damaged
piece, if its repairable, or i'll sell you one outright..if yours isnt
fixable
or if its missing...

i also have full fiberglass bumper/bodykits for sale, if anyone is
interested
to adding these to their earlier vanagon.   i put a full bodykit on my '84
and it looks sharp.

i go thru the bumpers/skirts..clean them up, any crack is professionally
repaired with fiberglass cloth and resin from behind, then repaired with
fiberglass filler on the front, then smoothed and spot coated, and shot in
primer..ready for your topcoat.
repairs are stronger than new.

why do i want to do this on a exchange basis (if possible)?
its because of this.
the fiberglass bumpers/skirts are not being made anymore.  the only place
you
can get them new is from VWOA remaining warehouse stock.  and they are $$$$.
when that stock is depleted, thats it.   nobody is reproducing these, and
the
market is so small, nobody will.   winkler from germany had repro'd these
back in the 80's, but the fit and finish was so sub-par that the few US
distributors of their products dont bother importing that item anymore.
there was no
way to attach it to the van, other than gluing them on. not to diss Wilkler,
but i have owned a few winkler products before..and i was not able to use
them wi
thout major modification. those of you who have owned some know what im
talking about.  anyway,  the OEM VW bodykit uses the bracket system, which
makes
them easily removeable.

anyway i do have misc fiberglass bumpers and sideskirts for sale, as well as
complete bodykits..

email me if interested..if yours is damaged - send me a pic of the damage
and
i'll tell you weather or not i can fix it..

thanks
chris
