wasnt too sure where to put this, but here ya go. anyone give any tips on taking the front clip off a 91? need to replace front clip and both quarter panels, taking off parts car and installing on bare metal so to say...slightly damaged but im doing the best i can, just having a pain taking the front bumper off the parts car.
Dunno what exactly you're asking for?
The front bumper is secured by like 3 or 4 nuts (bolts?) on the sides.
There are also a number of 10mm bolts on the top once you open the hood - it's obvious.
You'll need to remove the turn signals - couple of Phillips head screws on the lenses should get them out, pull the entire light assembly through the hole, and unplug them.
If there's some kinda lower spoiler, you'll need to back out the screws that go into clips underneath.
"Front clip" = hood, front bumper, and both front fenders?
Fenders have 10mm bolts on the top.
There's a couple of bolts that need to be removed when you open the doors.
I think there is one more up in the front underneath.

Yank on it! 
The sides will sometimes get caught on the threads of the "studs", but they will eventually pull out.
If you see no space between the bumper and the fender, then I think you missed a nut.
As for the center section, sometimes the metal bracket does fuse to the rest of the chassis, so you'll need to either pry it off or yank harder.
