Heh.... It was after 1 AM by the time I had everything done, cleaned up and inside the house. And I started shortly after 2 PM. lol..... I guess I did make 2 trips to home depot, but other than that, I took no breaks on it and worked steadily. The grille we were fussing with when you left? we ended up connecting to the bumper with chicken wire because the holes in the grille were torn and wouldn't connect properly even with the right kind of bolt. We also chicken wired the headlight into place and I placed a random piece of frame that I couldn't figure out where it came from between it and the bumper to stabilize it just a little better, it seems to hold just nicely. And the bumper itself? Well, it's screwed into the one hole that still exists that is still attached to the actual frame of my car that didn't fall apart... but the rest we chicken wired too. lol.... and then I duct taped the middle part where the grille is, just above the radiator. lol. I'm fucking Macgyver. You know that was my nickname in elementary ( ... )
