Unhappy Need Help With Front Bumper!!! New!!

Hey guys. Well i picked up my first 1986 Rx7 the other day for $400 plus a touchscreen headunit and Rockford Fosgate T1 sub. The car funs really strong and the interior is pretty clean. However the front bumper has been pushed in causing the brackets to hold in right in the front to bend which led to denting the nose of the hood. To make all this simple.....

i need to know how to remove the whole front bumper off the car! lol. i am new to this car so i have no idea where the bolts that i need to take off are located or if i need to remove other parts to get to those bolts.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I know that there are bolts on top of the bumper and on the bottom connected by the under tray. Also there are bolts that connect the sides of the bumper to the fender which in my opinion is a pain to take off. Just spray some WD-40 if there is any rust and it will help the loosing process.

I know there are some more bolts that i probably forgot about but its 2am plus im super tired.
