I forgot how many bolts but they are all 10mm. Pop your hood and remove the ones in front of the radiator. Take the signals out and there is a bolt attached to the fender. There are 2 more past the headlight (you'll need a long extension and a swivel adapter for these). Hope that helps.

Burning Oil-Grinding 3rd
Pull the headlights and there is one on each end holding the Header to the Fender. The rest are across the top infront of the Rad. It is much easier with the Hood Removed.

Dont forget to make sure and have a good strong drill and some self tapping bolts for when you break the bolt heads off of the top ones (in front of radiator). Every single one busted off of both cars that I took the header panel off of. Both were 85's and both were decent looking in that area.

a little penetrating oil goes a long way

it would be eaiser to squirt some penetrating oil on the bolts and work them back and forth with a wratchet. back them out until they get tght and then thread them back in a couple of threads. back them out a tad, thread them in. use the penetrating oil during this process too. you might find it saves time as well. just a friendly suggestion though.
