Both front and rear bumpers are gone and repairing RUBBER used parts car had small dents which will not show up until gloss paint is applied. The front bumper is pushed in and bent down, so who knows what is damaged under it. The part that sucks, is that NOBODY i.e., such as Classic Industries-Yearbook One etc., makes reproduction parts for the 1991-92 Firebird because it was a limited mod just for those 2 years. The OEM is LONG gone, so that leaves me with no way to get QUALITY parts and I would not want to have to track down a donor car and go thru that PIA  . So the bottom line is, IF it is totaled (my body shop feels it is) then I would like to see what my buy back is and offer it (as a total car) to anyone who wants it for the quality like parts that this car has to offer. I will NOT piece it out, it's ALL or nothing. |
That's probably the best way to do it. I'm sure there are plenty of people who could repair it and be really happy with the result. But they would have to not care about used/repro stuff.
Goodmark appears to make a quarter:

But who knows what the fit is like, and I can't tell if it covers the repair area.
