How to fix my bumper problem?
I just bought a 93 ford escort GT knowing that there was a little bumper issue. Someone had hit and run the girl i bought it from and it seems as though the front right edge of the bumper was bent upwards and under the headlight on the left side of my car. What i was wondering was if i could use a heat gun to pull the bumper out to regain its old shape? We kinda pulled it out a little and its being held against another piece of the bumper if you can see there in the second picture, if we leave it there long enough will it eventually stay there? Anyway i could use all your help i know nothing about cars, and basically whatever you'd recommend to make it look a little better.
i'm not looking to spend more than i bought it for haha which was only a grand!
thanks!
Red tape or you could get a used bumper for $100 give or take, but to find matching color might be tough.
Red duct tape!
Get a replacement from a scrap yard. The car looks like a patchwork of colours anyway so it won't matter.
Honestly though looking at the wing there's MORE damage to the car than just the bumper (there rarely isn't) If your tyres suddely start wearing unevenly then your tracking or the frame got twisted.
It would be CHEAPER to get the car checked properly NOW.
- Front Bumper is gone on the used car I just bought. How much to fix it? Is it safe to drive? I just bought a used car for $1300 the only issues with it our the rear suspension needs to be fixed and the front fender is missing completely. There's no metal at all and no cover so the bottom half of the radiator is exposed. Its an 02 ford Taurus and I'm wondering how much a complete new bumper is going to cost like a ball park estimate? And is it safe to drive it without the front bumper temporarily?
- Car acceleration problem and idle problem. The car is a 2003 Ford Taurus? . When the car is running and in parked its making a loud consisted rev noise. However the rpm needle thingy is not moving. when i'm in drive the car acclerates on its own with the speed ever increasing. i did some googling and learned that it can be the TPS sensor or the idle air intake valve, among a million other possiblities.
- Can you use a 2006-2011 ford ranger bumper on a 2001? I love the front bumpers on the 2006-2011 rangers and I wanna know if I can put one on my 2001 ranger
- How to fix a misfire problem on a 302 Ford? I have a 1970 Torino with a BOSS 302 and the number 6 cylinder(2nd cylinder from the firewall on the passenger side) is misfiring. I replaced the spark plugs, the spark plug wires, ignition coil, distributor(cap and rotor) and its still misfiring. It's always been that same cylinder since I bought the car a few months ago. I don't know if it has compression or it the valves are messed up, but when I took the wire off of the spark plug, it was sparking as the engine was running.
