If you are refering the the 4 bolts in the curved steel plate the pulls the front wrap up tight with the fenders, Drill them out and find t-bolts and tack weld them in place. I usually break at least 1 per side, no matter how careful I am.

Previous poster was right about the screws and that plate that pulls the bumper and fender together. Or go to a junkyard and see if you can find some fasteners that are not rusted...especially if you are in the southwest...As I'm typing this I don't remember where you're from.

As for the rear end, you need to get some more detail. What's broken? Why is it sagging. Get under the car and take a look. Is a coil broken or what is damaged? Without more information, its tough to guess...
