Did you remove it from a salvage car? If not, why did you remove the nose?

If it is a salvage, I imagine you did not have to be concerned about getting it out without scratching/banging the engine compartment. Did it come free without any clearance problems?

We had to remove the front bumper because we didnt have a long enough lifterarm on the crane.. So we had to put the crane closer to the engine compartment..!

No scratches or bumps yet ..

And I thought I had a tough time finding my first 3rdgen when I had to go to another state. And 6 hours away for my second purchase. A trip to another country, several countries away, with a sea crossing kinda changes my perspective a bit....

Good luck with the project.
