I've searched forever, and haven't found what I need.I've been trying to get this finished for days, but I have undone every single bolt in the frontend of the car that I could physically get to, and this stupid bumper won't come off!
Basically, I'm parting the car out and what I don't sell is going to the metal scrap yard for $$$. The plan is to take the fenders, bumper, etc off of the front so that I can cut the car up. I already have all the doors, trunk, etc off but I'm hung up on getting the front bumper/headlights off.
Basically, how the hell do you take the headlights and front bumper off??

Re: 1991 Q, headlight and bumper removal (defrag010)
The headlights are held on with the 2 bolts on the front side of the light, and then theres 2 more when you take the cornering light off.. 4 total..
What have you removed on the bumper? have you removed the nuts holding it to the fender?

I have removed all of the 29 thousand 10mm bolts from the bottom of the bumper (holds the lip on), and from the bumper opening (that hold the mini-grille in). The only part I can't get to is the area behind the corner lens. I can pull on it from the bottom and it feels like it's loose except for the part that is behind the corner light.
I undid the two headlight bracket bolts towards the inside of the car, but I can't figure out how to get the corner light out for fear of breaking it. I undid the screw on top, but I could not get it to budge at all and I was on the verge of cracking it by trying to pull it out.
I bet all of the bolts I need to get at can be accessible once the headlights are out, huh?Is the corner just supposed to slide out?

Re: (defrag010)
The cornering light is held in with a balljoint on the headlight, you really just have to pull it out and it works fine.....
Sweet! thanks, I got that off and the frontend is now stripped down.
However, I'm more stumped than before on how to get the dash and steering column out. I undid all of the interior steering column braces, and detatched the firewall-side rod that goes into the rack.. but I can't get the damn rack to come out of the big rubber thing that comes out of the floorboard.
