Rust and Damage Repair: Part 3
I am now making some progress, and ready to begin the restoration of the rear fender and bumper. I finally took the bumper off, I didn't want to pull it off and risk braking something. but it successfully came loose and will be put back on with no problem.
Cleaning off and removing all the big parts of the old patchwork and cleaning any loose paint and metal flakes and pulling off damaged pieces.
More small surprises
Looks good at this angle.
Cleaner than before and easier to work with the bumper off than to try bending it out of the way.
Look forward to future installments of the cosmetic repairs.

Dashboard Headlight Switch Adjustment
I know these posts are starting to get out of order based on the work that I am doing, I found this and realized this work was done a few weeks ago, I did not get a chance to fix the air vent yet, but I managed to pull the dashboard out enough to connect the headlight switch back to the knob.
I am now left with the air vent assembly.
Although I connected the knob back to the green switch, the headlights and fog lights do not work, only the turn signals and brights for now.
