Has anyone done repair on the aluminum bumper on 123's ? The rear bumper on my 84 300td (wagon) detatched from the bumper shock....overall, the bumper is in good condition...chrome is good, rubber good, and not much corrosion on inside surface. However, it is now just hanging from only one of the shock attachment points. I don't think it is possible to repair aluminum by welding. I will get a better look see this weekend, to see if I can attach with some type of steel bracket with bolts (hidden under rubber), but I don't know if this is feasible.

Any suggestions on repair? Any suggestions on where to find a replacement (wagon-specific rear bumper is hard to find)....any salvage yards in New England with decent 123 wagons?

Thanks,

Mark
