So I bought some industrial strength duct tape and the zip ties. The heat was a bit of a deterent against trying the zip ties, plus I bought the wrong size zip ties. So I duct taped the hell out of it.

Hitting the road in a few. Thanks everyone for the suggestions and Hos for calling. :)
Will you post a pic of the completed repair job, please? :D ;)

It wasn't terrible. I'm just glad it survived the drive and the brief rain I ran into.

By the way, WG, how did that happen? Did you hit something or someone hit you?

I bought it that way. Cheap cash car with some pre-existing damage to it.

I'd taken it to a shop to fix it, and they suggested replacing the whole bumper cuz the other fender had similar damage. I chose to have them to do a quick fix to it. This is the only one that didn't take.

Maybe if you take it back to where they fixed it the first time, they will repair it right this time?

Nah, they were kinda 'spensive for what I had them do. My friend's husband gave me a number to a different guy to call.

Cool...

Well, if you are not real vain, that duct tape will last a long time just the way it is. I've seen worse than that.

:p:

Well, not about this car. It was cheap and gets great gas mileage. But because of funds, I may have to drive it like that for a couple of weeks, at least.

At least no one will hijack your ride!
