...some crackheads stole anything aluminum and copper they could off of the rover...

I hope you don't need new doors, wings, bonnet and a tub!

nah they just got whatever they could with a screwdriver and a knife, they did get an old half door that was aluminum, it was laying by my shed, but luckily they just got what they could quickly

You might think about reporting that. Someone might be wanting the Vin #.

nice!

i was looking for the square one that goes on the front wing. i have the square one on the right rear tub, and the rectangle one on the front bumper. but i also wanted a square for the front left wing so i could remove the smaller bumper mounted one.

i guess i could just custom make one out of sheet metal using the rear one as a template?

Did you specify a stolen Vin#? that will, or should make a big difference.....just in covering your own ass later on down the road.
