Progress is really slow at this point. Mostly my accomplishments in the garage are inversely proportional to the temperature.
I did manage to do another round of sanding and buffing, and now waxing the paint as well. So having that completed now I'm adding emblems and moldings. The trunk also opens via the key now, although that wound up being more of an adventure than it should have. Seems like nothing fits easily on this car.
This Sunday I tried installing the front bumper. I was having some trouble getting things to line up (of course!) but the thermometer had no trouble at all getting to 114 degrees about the time I gave up. I must confess I could also sense All Access calling me! Now that I know how to get that on the wife's Roku I can see that nothing is going to get done around here on Labor Day weekend!
Anyway I'll try again this coming weekend. I may have to do some hacksaw and welder work on the brackets to make up for earlier damage from a mild collision.
