Cowl(nose)panel removal

Wondering what is involved in removing the nose panel on an 85? Any info appreciated. I am speaking of the panel located between the headlights, hood, and front bumper.

Not much, you will have a struggle with the bolts around the lights, just look for 10mm bolts and keep pullin them till it comes off. There are some under by the tow points.
Have fun.

2 bolts on each side, raise the headlights, work from underneath. One at each long end bolting to the fenders. The others are in a row at the forward side of the top radiator shroud.

Fenders need to be loosened, the bumper is easy to pulloff, 2 large bolts and the bumper light connections and I think some vinyl needs to be popped off. I'll take you 60 minutes your first time. The lights will bust your knuckles.
