Today, I wrapped the bumper (which took longer than I thought it would), put the trunk back on, and installed my tow hook!

While I am waiting for some suspension parts to arrive, I started wrapping again. Now only the bumpers are left, and then I'll be able to...

Whoops...it required more than just a breaker bar and car jack handle for leverage. I ended up using a propane torch, and the axle nut...
