        I sure as hell thought so. And new hardware is the shit. It's super-cheap, so why not just buy it new? I'm going to start whenever I do some repair job on my car, just ordering all new hardware.

            Hey, just an update to let you guys know that the game is still on!

            I'm taking the bumpers and valence in for paint at the end of this week, and I just got finished getting the rear apron all ready for installation. I took a grinder to all of the edges and corners and got everything nice and rounded off, with nice clean edges. Andrew and I will probably tackle it again at the end of this coming week, starting to test fit and get it ready to be mounted. And yes, we are going to be welding it. :up:

                  It's the OEM unibody rear apron from the 88+ model cars, cut off of a '92 cabby. Check the first page of the thread for pics.

                          It depends on your application, where it is, how severe it is, there are a dozen different ways to deal witth rust. In my situation, on the parts that were rusted, using the electrolosys method worked wonders.

                          An update today, I am FINALLY DONE SANDING. The valence, both of the bumpers, my side mirrors, and the brake duct inlets are all going to the body shop tomorrow for a professional respray. I should have it all back within a week or so, and then I can start assembling everything. w00t!

                            The bumpers, valence, brake ducts and side mirrors are now at the body shop, soon to be painted. I should have them back soon!

                                About $100-150. Friends with the owner of the body shop's son through high-school and still presently.
