So I fixed my whole trunk situation by drilling the right dimple behind the rear license plate, sticking needle nose pliers in and pulling the release latch to the right to release the trunk lid. I also removed the finish panel, removed & fixed the whole key system to unlock the trunk from the back. Now I can open it from both the center console and the from the back. Such a relief. I would've taken pictures if it wasn't so dark outside. Now I gotta visit a junkyard for a driver side pop up mount and motor cuz it doesn't work. I just found out the guy I bought the car from crashed it pretty bad in the front & never reported it, so it never got a salvaged title. I was looking under the front bumper & saw that the front end of the chassis is all bent up so I'm gonna find a good welder and probably get everything reinforced. Also gotta find a new front bumper cuz it's super bent on the inside...
Any ideas/ suggestions on what else I should do?
