Mango getting a new bumper~

After looking all over the place for a good bumper for mango (my TE72) and with no success, Mcguyver suggest that i go for a newer alternative. We convert bumper from newer car. And this was he found for me.
A front bumper from AE86, Levin version. Perfect fit but had to do some minor body work to the fender to suite it.

And we drop of the bumper to the Lai body work to check on mango's progress,
i was happy to see that the actual work on mango had been started. and it was progressing well.
a lot of the old rusted panel had chopped out and replace with new metal plate which 'hack' with the original grove line.
more work done here~
and the new side skirt panel as well. all replaced and coated with special chemical i brought from a friends in ship yard.

After a long chat with Ah Lai and did a lot of changes to mango's body, we headed back to close my shop.
I'll be back to see mango with a few parts which needed to customize his body next week, so will update soon with more photos ^^.
