The grille on my 1995 RoadTrek 210 popular has suffered from apparent bird strikes or other hits soft enough to crack some of the grille parts without breaking them out completely. Something much harder broke the bottom of the passenger side headlight door on the chrome area knocking a large chunk off of it. All of this was existing damage when I picked it up last year and started on a restore, replace and repair process.
Also, some chrome areas are peeling and blistering, likely a reflection of age.
So, to address all of this, I secured replacement and upgrade parts for the big G30 as well as for an identical (in every front end way)1995 Chevy G20 Cobra High top conversion van that is my daily driver. The Cobra is having some similar grille issues with cracks and blistering chrome. Peeling cannot be far behind, methinks.
I bought two complete grille "sets" which comprised the two end headlight doors and the center grille section.
later I found these way too kewl stainless headlight hoods... figured this was a good look, so snagged a set of these as well!
Next I wondered about some projector headlight replacements that I happened across and decided to try the upgrade on the Cobra first then on the Roadtrek later.
So, now that all the parts are here and the weather is beginning to get off the winter mode, I think a decent few hours ought to be enough to get the old stuff off and the new stuff on!
So, collecting all the parts to be ready to face lift my RT 210 is what I did today.
