Default dirt road mishap

Met a truck around a blind corner on a dirt road.



Damn. Just overhauled and painted this thing! Anyway, found a bumper and fender the next day and drove 2 hours to pick them up. Turns out it was the bumper cover with turn signals, side marker lamps, license plate cover, impact absorber, impact bar, and fog lights for 400. The fender was 150 and came with the little grilles and brackets. Can't stand her looking like **** but have to wait for insurance. Since I work at a body shop I should actually make money off this.

New parts. Great condition, excellent price



And the find of the day!

A near perfect seat to replace my screwed driver seat for 100! Just gonna swap covers and be good to go. Gonna have some extra fog lights and turn signals soon. Thinking I might hand them out to whoever wants to pay shipping since I basically got them free.

400 for a front bumper is a lot... I guess it's not horrible since it's including everything, but my local junk yard's got a pile of these front bumpers on the cheap.

Lucky you. None of my local yards have them. I can find them for 250 to 300 for just the cover but then its close to another 100 to ship and for that price they almost always have damage to take into account for the overall price. A reman bumper is about 600. For where I'm at and what's avaliable, 400 for a near perfect bumper(no repair) that comes with everything it touches is a steal.
