Bringin the CL back to life!

Well, my 2.2 CL has been sitting for about a year. Kinda gave up on it and let it die. Well this summer im going to bring it back, Im going to try and save about a thousand dollars in the next couple months. What I need is front bumper, hood, windshield, maybe fenders. And what put it down was the brake rotors. The front driver side locked up so i had to change it. Well, one of the bolts to the back of the rotor got eaten up and i gave up really... Anyway im open to any suggestions... comments ... help .... advice. I just really wanna get this done. Get her back on the road.

A little motivation is that i just put 1500 into it about 2 years back replacing the motor.

I don't have any advice to offer unfortunately, but I'm hoping everything goes smoothly and your car rebounds back to its prime!!

not sure exactly what bolt you're referring to but I would give an impact hammer a go. its a hand tool that you strike with a mallet. Theyre cheap <$10 and i had good luck with one on my rotor retaining screws. If you're talking about a real bolt then a breaker bar might be a better option

I already took all the bolts out. Put em back in, tightened, tightened, they were lose again. Tightened some more till i got em all tight, i guess one was loose came out and got all chewed up. So i need to get the bolt. Guess ima have to go dealer because nowhere else has it. That'll make it drivable. Not legally with the body work needed but a good first step.
