Removing body parts... any pitfalls?

[rx7 FC TII]

just for reference even with the easiest of parts theres always something that pops up thats unforseen. the only thing i hate about working on FCs. it does keep you guessing tho lol.

and who knows what you could find in those empty areas. i found a spark plug in my firewall ahaha.

This is also a good idea


its really not hard to take the stuff off... some parts may be tricky if you havent done it before... like the fenders for example... 2 bolts by the front of the door, 4 or 5 under the hood.. and 4 that hold the bumper to the fenders. you will need to take your splash gaurds out of your fenders to get to 3 of them and you will want to raise your headlights to get to the 4th cause its kinda in the upper front corner of the fender.
