not quite don't think I have a steady enough hand for that, it is a sticker, just going to put on another clear coat to sandwich in between the layers to avoid peeling.

Great work, buddy. You've been putting in a great deal of blood, sweat and elbow grease and it shows.

Keep putting up those work-in-progress shots please.

Think I may need bit more practice with the welder

Didn't realise it was a named box thought it was just an ebay number

some tape round the arches and should be good for the MOT tomorrow.

That split on the back box was a PITA.

Is that cat on upside down?

So the rear bumper was really annoying me with how it was hanging so I thought I would take it off and have a look. BTW don't look if you want to see a complete bodge

Some of the stickers needed removed. The silver one was some 3d effect prelude sticker - had to go

Yes this is actual super glue I need to get at it with some sandpaper

Rubbed down most of the rusty patches before going at it with some primer

Some plastic welding done - reinforced this with copper wire from stripped wires

I got the bumper back on but the plastic welding on the thin bit across the upper section of the bumper wouldn't hold so is causing it to sag. Any tips on how to rectify this? was going to try and make some brackets and somehow attach on the inside. Also it started to P down so didn't get the chance to get finished pics. Still needing to fix the stickers and badge.
