August 8, 2010 - Replacing the towing baseplate

The car is ready.

Knee protection in place.

The box is ready.

The box is open.  Here are the old and new baseplates next to each other, it looks like the new one has the same dimensions.

Bill removed the fascia from the car.

Driver's side damage.

Passenger side, not damaged since the part attached here broke and stayed put.

We have the new baseplate in.

Getting ready to put the fascia back.

The new baseplate attached.

John putting the finishing touches on the fascia.

It is done.  We are ready to roll.

John's help was much, much appreciated.  He also had metric sockets, which we did not have, and we needed them.

Now all we need is to get new fascia, since there is hidden damage and it could fall apart in time.
