2. Mustang Disassembly

Front End Disassembly

 This second phase of my disassembly strategy is set for disassembling the front bumper, valance, grill, headlamp assemblies, front fenders and hood.

 Inspection_5 016Remove the front bumper to fender brackets, front bumper and bumper guards, my front bumper and guards were already removed so I skipped that step.


 

Remove the grill, and grill moldings so you can get access to disconnect the turn signal lamps.
