Wondering if I should make a 'how to thread'
 
I just got back from running every pick-n-pull and pick your part outta FBs (Sad to say I found a total of 3 between Oakland and San Jose :( ) Anyways... as you guys may or may not know I ended up bashing my front end pretty well and need to replace the bumper, fenders, wheel well shields, bottom valence, bumper shocks, and some other crap. I also need to either correct the angle of the shocks or straighten the two mounting points again.

I figured since I am going to make such a mess and bother stripping and primering all the parts; why don't I snap pictures and write up a thread.

I don't know I was thinking mostly because the front end itself is annoying complex (Not really, but a whole shit load of parts just to hold the damn bumper and fenders on!) that people could use it as a reference when taking apart or modifying their front ends?

Meh just let me know if anyone would be interested in a thread like that, I start work tomorrow morning! :)

Any How-To is a great How-To. Currently I am making one on disassembly of a 12a motor. Covering every bolt and nut coming off.

I guess then I will nab a camera when I work tomorrow. :)

1st gen front ends are much simpler to take apart than the later ones. Be sure to use plenty of P B Blaster on the small bolts underneath. They tend to snap off easily. I sometines use heat after the PB to help break the rust bond.
