Quick Question

Hi all,

Well I took everything out the jimny today ( carpet, seats, all plastics ) ready to get the boot welded tomorrow and rust treat and hammerite next weekend
Then I removed the back box so it was easier to get access to the underboot bit that is also holed.

I then decided to take off the front bumper as its rusty there as well........ the question is can I legally drive without a front bumper on? If so I can just leave it off untill next weekend ( obviously with the plate on the car ) and then clean it up etc..... and ask the welder tomorrow about if the rusted bits are needing welded for mot etc or if I can just clean them up and paint them etc.

Cheers,

Bert

If there is nothing sharp or projecting that could injure a pedestrian in a collision, it will be legal, but your insurance will jump up and down rubbing their hands with glee when they refuse any claim you make without it fitted.

hmmmm, the bumper holders stick out....... I didnt think it would make a difference to insurance tbh, if I made a bumper out of metal would that also make a difference ?
...it seems these days any excuse not to pay out is used what happened to the old insurance days when you insured a car and the only thing that really mattered was if you made it faster somehow or other, now you seem to have to tell them if you stick on a badge

Fix the number plate onto the bumper holders with duck tape and go for it.:evil:

Just go everywhere in reverse!


Sorry, couldn't resist! :laugh: :laugh:

I wouldn't expect a better answer from you lol
she looks mean without the bumper on..... I know I'm selling her in decemberish ( when I have my works van and the signum theres no need and with a new kid on the way deffinately no money and need the space of the signum )
I am still tempted to make bumpers for her tho...... and I am going to clean up all underneith and paint whatever I can while im at it..... at least when someone buys her she will be a good motor
And I'm also going to paint the entire floor inside after its been rust treated/proofed.
I will have to take photo's sometime..... however my stupid mobile phone doesnt seem to work atm and the camera eats batteries
