The '94 GS-R that I just bought has the typical rusting wheel well. It happens to be rusted where the bumper cover attaches to the quarter panel by a plastic clip. Is there an easy fix to reattach the bumper cover? Hopefully the pictures help explain the issue.

 

Duct tape, lol. My quarters are doing the same thing, what a mess.

 

my process isnt so simple but i:

knocked off all loose rust
cleaned it
painted it with por-15 (rust sealer)
fiberglassed
filler-ed
primered
painted (rattle can to protect from uv rays)

this was 6 months ago, bumper still holds up strong and it looks like i used a rattle can on it, no one will tell its fiberglass. but i did spend time shaping. i did a few layers of fiberglass. only con right now is the rattle can paint is begining to peel and the filler it chipping, but i dont care the fiberglass is strong and water resistant.

not perfect, doesnt look nice. does its purpose which is to seal the rust and hold up the bumper. i will re shape with new filler in the future.

note= my final sand was 180 grit.

 

see that rubber liner going around the wheel well? on the inside lip of the quater. take that off. thats what starts the rust on the quarter MOST of the time.

Looks like it may be too late for that
