I worked on my daughter's CR-V yesterday and today, but I have to head to the Toyota dealer and get a $3 clip for the door handle to get it back together. It's been a clusterfart of minor problems just to fix the door lock. Since I hit the "waiting on parts" wall on that, I've been working on Roscoe.
I got a carpet from Pull-A-Part and have it mostly cleaned. As soon as it dries I'm going to paint it like I did with WCJr's carpet.

I also tackled the bumper mounts today. I discovered the center bumper mounts I got from Pull-A-Part are worse than the ones that were on Roscoe. I thought that was a factory bend until I put them back to back and compared them to the original mount.

I had a bear of a time getting the driver's side mount out. I finally decided to quit dorking around and put a cheater pipe on my breaker bar.

I also used the mini-sledge and a piece of solid bar to hammer the body mount mostly straight. I really wanted to cut it off, weld it back together, and then weld it on the truck, but we're in a high fire danger right now, and there are piles of leaves all around the truck. I'm kinda thinking I'd like to just cut it off and replace it with a new one.
