Stage 5 was about sorting out the bumper and a few other niggling items.

First up the bumper. When I bought the scoob I knew about the big dent in it but was going to just get a replacement bumper and either get it sprayed or find one the right colour but as funds are tight, I thought sod it, I could sort it out myself ! Now before I could proceed, I discovered a quite shocking bumper bar when I removed the actual bumper.
I know that UK bars tend to be manky, rusty and in a bad state but nothing could have prepared me for this













No wonder my bumper didnt fit or sit right !!!!!!!

Luckily I had a spare bumper bar from my mate Paulo which I had cleaned up and painted so it was a case of a straight swap

The comparison



And fitted






Now whilst the bumper was off, I popped out the wedges, indicators and gave it a good clean back and front then set about sorting out the massive dent.



After a little bit of hot gun action and gentle tweaking I got to this stage. Not bad and a big improvement but could do with some little tweaks later on when I have the time, problem is the plastic was getting thin and I didnt want to break through. After



Next up a little bit of tarting up. Rusty radiator brackets




After


There is Roger Clarke Motorsport slam panel going on next as I had one left over from my last scoob but as the brackets are different from turbo to sport,it needs altering

Horns






All sorted.



Everything fits much better, lights, bumper, grill etc.
The next changes will be de-tangoing the bumper, wedges painted and crystal side lights
