    Question Bumper alignment

    Ok now it works,any ways i was working on the sei yesterday and the back bumper won't line up on the drivers side.When i push it into place it seems like the drivers side is to short to reach the wheel well.When i got the car it was rusted out where the bumper mounts behind the wheel well,some one stuffed it full of fill and screwed the bumper on.I'm trying to weld it up,but gotta find where the bumper should be to repair it .ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS.

    No one can really tell you how to fix it. You just gotta figure it out. You can sand down the filler, or shave the mount on the bumper or shim the other side out to match. Just gotta handle it however you can. There's no magic secret, unfortunately.

    do you know the plastic tab that would screw the car then the bumper would slide over it then screw to the bumper. well i fiberglassed that to the remaining metal in the position that it should be in. it looks perfect and i still can take off my bumper.
