All the pieces I found reattached via my harbor freight soldering iron. Tomorrow will recreate missing pieces about 6 small area’s.

I am highly skeptical that this is going to work long term.

adding a sheet of fiber glass matting on the back side would help it last longer. or maybe some short of thick resin glue or epoxy. Bondo might even help on a pinch.

Decided to go little custom. Sliced top off a spare bumper to make air dam. Will be detachable “maybe” Depending on how low it is. Just a mock up right now will fill and shape some time this week

Bumper finally ready for bondo work. Fiberglass the back and then counter sunk rivets along all cracks to minimize bondo cracking 🤞

It's about time that someone started making hydro-formed aluminum bumpers for our Escorts from 3/16" aluminum plate!
