Turtle Schultz's Jetta aero mods thread

Some of you have seen my ability to bounce from one project to another. Well this will be done before any others are again visited.

My Daughter (Krissy) has a VW Jetta.OK I own it and fix it and insure it, but she puts gas in it.
I got extra inserts for the lower bumper cover.
I filled them with Expanding Foam. That did not work as planned.
I then filled the top (front?) with epoxy.
That hardened to a granite like surface that has proven very hard to work. I have been able to sand it to the point where I can fill the recess with "Bondo"



Lotsa sanding after this pic. and then.



BONDO!!

I use paper plates to mix in. They are disposable, rigid, & no one cares if I destroy one or two.



Now i must wait for the filler to set and back to sanding I go.

Going lurking now.
