[Shop-talk] Repairing plastic (full sized) cars

I'm working on a project to help out my son-in-law.  His "bumper" has torn off
the front of his PT Cruiser.  I've taken it off and I'm planning to buy some
fiberglass repair tape and epoxy and rebuild the bolt holes that have torn. 
But I'd like to glue it back on when I put it back.  There are several plastic
shapers and supports behind the bumper but nothing is connected except by a
few clips.  I'd like to run a bead of glue everywhere anything touches
anything else so the entire assembly is a bit stronger when it goes back on. 
 
This repair will NOT be taken back apart.  It will stay until the car is
totaled from the front.
 
So, any suggestions for glue.  (And I've already thought of a bunch of tubes
of Testor's plastic glue with a needle in the tip. )  Liquid nails, etc??
 
Thanks in advance.
