I repaired my 84 upper grill using plastic epoxy, and gluing a small piece
of aluminum on the backside.
I was able to mold it pretty well, and finished it off with some bond-o,
then painted it with "Trim Black"

You can hardly see the repair, and this is the original grill too!

It's time to try and fix my '84 Vanagon grill, the lower grill has a
couple of broken slats and I have the slats.
Any recommendations on glue that works well for this type of plastic?
