exploit the tree's habit of going towards the sun - tilt the tray so to grow straight up towads the light the plant has to climb over the rock - you might have to remove the root stock from the tray and wrap it in hessian and then plastic so you can keep moisture up to it.
also - get some proper bonsai wire - it's usually copper but there is also some aluminium wire that's suitable i think - by wrapping the trunk as opposed to pulling it from one spot you'll get a stronger/safer bend without stressing one point of the trunk up to breaking point. That coathanger might do more damage than good.
novel hobby for car enthusiasts - but they're a relaxing distraction specially when light rain sets in for a few days.
