My problem is this, whats the best order to put it all back together in? From my trials today it appears I should put the grill in first, then put the lower splash shield on last. Not sure the best route but one I am sure about is I will do it wrong the first time.
Thanks
If it ain't broke I ain't worked on it.

Don't cinch the inner fender to LR baffle bolts yet. If you can get them use body bolts that are machine threaded (1/4-20 & 5/16-18) all the way down a tapered tip. Keep a scratch awl or small phillips handy to help line up holes. Start all you can loosely - makes lining up the others easier. Some you have to cinch the bolt down to hold the sheetmetal in place just to get a neighboring bolt in. It's a finesse job to get all those bolts in.
Unless you lead a blessed life and everything is lined up perfectly. | | |
