Purchased the car this way and there was no undercarriage damage; just the center lower cover broken off. The owner didn't have the missing piece and I don't want to source even a scrap yard cover.
Sooo... looking for a quick fix that is structural as well as somewhat cosmetic.
Not sure where to come up with a plastic piece at all so was thinking of angle Al. Even Al sheet custom cut and bent to match then overlap it inside and pop-rivet/epoxy it into place. with body putty could mold it in better and paint to match? [dunno] I know the stock lower curves out slightly but am hoping that a straight piece will suffice?
Any suggestions are welcome. I'm NOT a body person, just mechanical. [wrenchin]
