Quick question/help
#2
Put the head lights up. Then remove the entire headlight assembly. The bolts that go to the fender are a real biotch to get while the head lights are in place. When i was young and stupid it took me forever to figure out where all the bolts were. Ah the good ol noob days! Good luck, it isnt that hard and i recall them all being 10mm.

I see a sawzall in the picture, 0 no! Basically if you got the corner fender bolts, the lowest bolt on the fenders and a few across the top bumper then it will be fine. Ive used zipties in crappy situations and that held up no problem. Your bound to snap some bolts on these cars.
Iv'e never seen such a yellow front bumper, no wonder your avatar shows it from the back sides haha. Looks to have come out much better from what i can see.

Yea, i was sawing a rusted & stripped screw off. It snapped though(it was so rusted......)
Yeah, idk how it got so yellow but now it looks better. Only paid 30 bucks in paint and sand paper too.
the biggest problem i have now is I FORGOT TO PUT THE STYROFOAM SHOCK ABSORBER BACK IN. ****. how bad is that? Do i have to pull off the entire bumper AGAIN?

Then take off the bumper AGAIN to put the impact absorbers back. Then all i have to do is just clean off my oil sender unit and check my BAC. Then my car will be perfect
