Flexible SEM-Weld is my new friend. I finally got around to cutting out the old torn section of front bumper and replacing it with a matching section from the spare bumper, and Flexible SEM-Weld did exactly what it claims on the tube. It bonds strongly, cures in 10 minutes to a tough, rubbery plastic which matches the original polyurethane, and sands well.

Being epoxy-based, it also bonds well to fingernails. Ask me how I know.

My name's Grant, and I'm an addict. I cant stop shopping for car parts on on TradeMe. I know I dont *need* to, but the thrill I get from hunting down rare parts, getting a good price and having them delivered to my door- all without leaving my swivelly chair- makes me keep on doing it. In the last 4 weeks I've bought;

-Front and rear bumpers
-sound deadening mat
-fuel injectors (cleaned and blueprinted)
-cold-start injector
-headlamps
-overboost pulley
-washer bottle
-door seals
-quick-release steering wheel adaptor
-gearknob
-seat belts
-brake lines

I could justify all of these purchases by saying they were cheap, usually hard to find, and make me happier, but justification is a sign of unease.

I guess it's time to just give the ol' TradeMe a break. Unless of course someone lists a boot carpet set, facelift spoiler, or frunk liner.
