I need to know how to start taking off the following things on my '91 Formula:

Hood (going to be selling my "Power Bulge" hood, am I to sell the mounting hardware and all or just the hood itself? I want to get a Ram-Air II setup)

Passenger-side door

Taillights (don't laugh... after a quick look I'm not quite sure how they're supposed to come off)

I figured I'd ask here before going out and figuring out on my own because I'm sure there are lots of people on here that have dismantled their car .

 

A good thing to get is the service manual. Makes it a lot easier to take stuff apart and put them back together

 

On a carmaro:

The hood is attached to the hood struts & hinges, loo there and take off all the bolts....

The taillights are held in by plastic screws that are hidden behind the plastic piece that sits on the back of the hatch area, you will need to remove this and all other plastic in it's way...

The door is connected to hinges, if you have manual locks, windows just open it up, look for all bolts and disconnect, I'm not sure about powers ones.....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's straightforward for the hood and door..........It only connected to the hinges that allow it to open.....therefore remove the bolts.....

 

Okay.. I just wanted to make sure that I would actually be able to get tools to the bolts and such before attacking it... I thought maybe with the doors and stuff it would be hard to get tools where they need to be...

 

for the taillights, just unscrew the two philip head screws one on each side of the hatch graber thing.. then use a flat head screw to remove the four plastic screw in the corners of that rear plastic panel.. you carefully remove it away the rear you need need to unhook the light or anything else keeping you from taking it out of the trunk..

then you can just use your hands to unscrew the five (i think) plastic wing nuts.. for each light.

 

check with where you are getting your new hood, see if you will need the stock hood hinges. either way they bolt up to the top of the fender at the bottom and to the hood at the top.

only thing to add on the tail lights is, be careful when you remove the bulb/harness connectors from the housing, dont twist the wrong way and the tag lights can be a b*tch. and when you put them back on, dont overtighten those little plastic wingnuts, they'll split in half.

the doors...just unbolt the hinges from the frame its a total of 5 or 6 bolts, they can all be reached with a socket or open end wrench, if you cant reach a bolt from the rear side go around the front and take the plastic splash guard loose from the front wheel well, and then you can reach up in there through the fender to get at them from the front side. make a chalk mark or two/permanent marker works, so you can get the hinges lined back up right when you put the door back. if you have p/w or p/l you will have to take the inner door panel off and reach in to unplug the connectors to the motor and actuator, unclip them from their looms, and they will feed back out the whole in the door. make sure you have some help or a jack to support the door, that ***** is heavy and you dont want to drop it..either bending the door or brekin your foot or both good luck!

 

Thank ya very much, you guys have been more than helpful.
