Rear bumper stripped. Cut out the main mounting brackets and repaired a couple of threads. Sandblasted before welding them back in. Test fitting with splash pans

If your current job doesn’t pay $100 per hour, you’re in the wrong line of work!

Pop out glasses installed today under the aircon. Too hot in the shed today. Clamps helped line up the screws and went together very nicely. Just the outer seal to finish but I’ll do them at a later date.
