Random member quote: People say the mini cooper is fast, and handles amazing. I asked a girl why she loved hers.  Her response was "it’s small, and cute, and I can fit everything in it...  just like my purse".  It was at that point I felt my nuts crawl up inside my body and refuse to come back out.

Has anyone ever successfully repaired a tore or cracked front valence on an 89-93 B4U car? If so, please let me know how. Here's what mine looks like... sad



Thanks!

Holy shit that looks good! I found a guy on the W-Body.com forum that has a valence in very good condition...trying to see how much he wants for it.

I found it an easy DIY project.
Just got the correct adheasive from my local autobody jobber, made a patch behind the tear and did basic bodywork until the repair was invisible.

It is ready for paint, just waiting for the right time to spray it!

Still not painted.
Far too many projects and not enough hours in the day.
