Does anyone see the bumper as an issue for a no sale??

Welcome to CMOC. I would think the front bumper would be the least of your worries. What about the rest of the car? Do your homework. Make sure you know what you are getting yourself into before buying.

The pass side is at least 1/2 inch off from the drivers. Probally bumped into something and didn't notice.

However that could also mean bumper supports, alignment, and suspension are off.

Who is the guy in London that restores Mustangs? I may need some body work done on my 68. I'm in Sarnia, not too far away.
