luca :Jon - I need some help....
Your front wings, how do they ajoin to the front panel just under the headlights?
I know they willprob use the original bolts at back of wing (by doors) and then bolted along the top.
Not sure how secured if at all to the front?
You never ring me anymore with questions like this
On the wing and front panel return they are bolted in a couple of places on each side
