Default Ghetto car-rack how-to and CRX cancer fix

Before I bought the car, it had been rear-ended on the right side. Although it wasn't horrible, the damage to the bumper support was enough to make it so nothing would line up once the car goes back together. Anyway, once you chain up the car where ever the damage is, put some pressure on it and beat out the kinks with a hammer. Worked pretty slick!

Also, here's how we fixed the rear wheel well cancer spots. I know this is an all too common issue with rex's, so hopefully this helps someone out.

Thanks for the votes of confidence. On the subject of rust... now I have the fun of sealing all the worn bare metal on *every* interior surface. I'm going to try to lizard skin spray on insulation, but apparently since its water-based it will rust any bare metals it touches. Hopefully this sound control stuff is worth all the extra work.. more pics soon.
