hey all, when i got my car the bumper used to sag about 1/2 an inch. i removed the bumper to paint the grey sections black and attach the bodykit and one of the bumper bolts inside the car had welded togather and rusted up. once we got over that issue we removed the bar to see it had come away from the bracing... apart from screws/bolts, is there any way of fixing this or do i have to buy a new bar?

here is what it looks like as of now

rrrr ok replace the reo, just pic one up from a wreckers (they shouldnt be to expensive) i would also replace the bumper mounts, if it had a nudge hard enough to break the reo it would have also bent the mounts..

i think you would only have to replace the bar mounts as i dont think the body kit would have a bar reo... could be wrong tho, u'll have to take the bar off to fined out what your dealing with...
