i smashed the hell out of my car reversing into a pole. Long story short: it was icy and i was having fun


okay i need help on removing both the rear bumper as well as just about everything directly behind it stopping at the frame as well as the trunk

thats all that was smashed thankfully the quaterpanels are fine

 

bump, cuz i have the same provblem

 

there isnt much to remove since its a Unit-Body car. To remove your rear bumper, theres 2 philips screws at the ends (in the fenderwells) and a hand full of plastic clips along the bottom edge and more on the top of the bumper. Open the trunk lid and you'll see the top clips. the tail lights are held in with 4 screws, or plastic cap screws. the decklid is secured with 4 bolts (2 on each hinge) however, the deck lid light must be removed. The rear latch is held in with 2 bolts, which you will have access to pulling out the rear panel in the trunk.

If you smashed it really good, you will need a bumper support beam (the real bumper) which has 8 big bolts securing it to the rear frame section if i'm not mistaken

 

Get out your plasma cutter and prepare to cut the body panels and weld new ones in...
