With this kind of luck I need to buy a lottery ticket!

Being partially insane I decided to go through every single drawer in my old spare parts cabinet, and by some minor miracle I found the torn-off bumper and grill stashed amongst a pile of old plastic parts for 1/24 scale model cars. Good grief, chassis in a box of old papers, and bumper in a drawer of styrene cast-offs!

Well, the chassis and bumper are a bit twisted, so the fit isn't too good. Maybe some judicious work with pliers and epoxy might do the trick. It'll never be a perfect restoration, but it'll at least have sentimental value. I wonder if I can colour match the body's factory green?
