Blacked out grill
Replaced hood release lever behind grill
Installed dome light but no interior lights are working at this point so I took the dome light back out. I'll have to diagnose the problem before I can finish re-installing the interior.

Painted front bumper trim
Secured broken plastic with metal brackets and bolts using rspi's method (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMMMSMGmt_M)
Removed rear bumper
Painted passenger side exterior door trim
I noticed the driver side bracket for the rear bumper is completely destroyed by rust. The passenger side doesn't look too bad. The part number for the brackets is 6816114 and I found several sources online. According to rspi Volvo no longer sells them.
