    I took the one bolt out but the bumper guard is still on there good which leads me to think there are more that gotta come off.

    Been a long time since I had mine off, but you might have to remove the bumper to get them off. There may be something in tech to help.

    Yes....there are more bolts behind the guard. Should be holes in the impact bar to be able to reach those other bolts.

    Ok , so I added up my receipts and the car has actually cost 830$ total.

    So there's a tip for you dads out there , for 830$ you can buy your kid a not too great laptop , or one of these! lol

    Thought I would update everyone one last time on this car.

    I did a straight up trade. My original plan was to sell the car for around 1500$ but I had no nibbles. So I traded it to a guy who had a started and electric car project.

    I figure times are changing. We'll be out of oil in the near future so time to look into alternatives and put gasoline to bed.

    I traded it for a 1997 geo metro electric car.:yahoo:bring it on future!
