Subject:wanted: good used chrome rear bumper... yes, i am actually serious :)
Date:Tue, 16 Mar 2010 18:46:13 EDT

ok folks.. i never thought id be posting a WTB for a good used chrome rear
bumper (pipe dream? haha  perhaps!) but i literally have no good ones at
this point anymore..    i can remember in the late 90's i had a  whole stack
of them, but theyre long gone..

i have a few lingering on parts vans, but they are beyond straightening or
they are crappy rusted aftermarket ones..   i have one OEM german one  on a
'87 i  pounded back into shape with a mallet and blocks of wood (i am
actually very good at straightening bumpers) but it was hammered so bad even my
expertise couldn't make it look passable..

sooo...  i am ONLY interested in the OEM german ones.... doesn't have  to
be perfect!!
some dents or wavyness is ok, i can straighten it out if its not too  bad..
  so if you have a OEM german used one laying aroung - even if  its not
perfect- PM me (with pics please) and if its usable i will buy it from  you...

thanks..

and fyi - the OEM german ones have the holes forthe trim strip already in
them, and the metal is a lot thicker than the aftermarket ones..and the
chrome  doesn't fail either..  OEM only!..please no aftermarket ones.

let me know!
