I see your rush then I suppose..... but you don't have too much left though. hell at worst you could tape everything and it'd be secure.

yeah. mostly i wanna get the front clip back on so that it LOOKS like it's in good condition. there's a city ordinance against working on your car in your driveway in my town back home (so i've heard) so i'm gonna rock a car cover and try to make it look like i'm just doing maintenance stuff.

that and the hood wouldn't be fun to try and fit inside the car.

Just think of the the end results not what you have to go through to get there. You will see in the end it was all worth it. I felt the same way about my car (I know apples to oranges but still) but now after putting some cash and tlc in her it really and I mean this really feels like a new car. Totally worth the pain I suffered.
