I'm wondering how to put my front end back on.. I know sounds pretty stupid.. but I didn't take the car apart, just bought it and had it towed to my house so I could put the trans and clutch back in and have it as my own project.
So the front end is a complete puzzle for me..just need to know the order of how to put it all back on or if theres other info on another site that would be great too.. guess I'll keep searching for the time being.
Thanks HT.

 

now for the front end do you mean the body panels, the radiators, wiring, hoses, can you be a lil more specific so i can help plz!

 

yeah.. just body panels.

fenders, headlamps, front bumper, and there are a couple large metal (brakets??) that the front bumper must go on.. but I'm not sure how I should put it together anything have to be on first for something else to go on? I might just take a trip to my local scrap yard and take one off so I know how to put it back together and what bolts go where..

the bolts are starting to make this car a real challenging puzzle. but its coming together piece by piece.

 

I've got the radiator in and the peice the hood latch mounts on. thats as far as Ive gotten into it so far.

 

first do fenders, then the bumper filler piece. the bumper brackets are pretty much self explanitory, they bolt with i believe four bolts to the frame. the bumper then bolts to the brackets using two bolts per side, and the edges of the bumper goes over the plastic adjuster thingys on the sides to keep the bumper from sagging.

 

well this is how i would put it back on.
-put on the hood (4 bolts total, two on each side) make sure it latches and unlatch reasonably.

-put on one side of the fender, 3 bolts on top. 1 hidden behind the door, 1 up front near at the corner light and 1 underneath at the end of the fender.

-do the other side for the other fender.

-install the headlights in. two bolts up top, two on bottom.

-install the bumper. some time ppl remove the cover only and leave the support on the car, or they remove both. i don't know your case so ill type out both.

1(bumper w/support off). bring the bumper back to its level. make sure it fits/aligned smoothly. there are 2 bolts inside behind where the front bumper blinkers go. same thing applies for the other side. after you bolted up a total 4 bolts, you can now go to the side of the bumper and you will see 2 screws on each side. screw them in.

2(bumper off without support) the bumper is off and the bumper support is still bolted to the car. put the cover back on and align it to fit. as you align it in place you will notice that there are holes for you to put in bolts. but these use a special type. as they have a flat surface and uses a phillip head type to screw it off/on.

im sure im missing some other little details but this is the basic stuff. play with it and im sure you will figure it out.

 

thanks I'll get this put on asap. ill make sure to take some pics though of the wire tuck and the other things i've finally gotten around too.

That helps me out alot! thanks.
