Remove nose cone
Hello !
I am new here , but have already performed a lot of jobs on my 1976 which i bought from USA one month ago.
Just now i am trying to remove the nose cone and fitting a new one. Can anybody please tell me the way to do this ? I have taken off spoiler and plate under bumper and it looks like big job.

You're about half-way there. From the lower-corners, all the way around the top there are bolts that you reach from the BACK and/or underneath of the car, there's metal strip-like things inside the bumper with the bolts attached (all of mine broke when I undid them 
). On my 79 you also had to remove the heavy license-plate holder thing in the middle, those bolts are also reachable from the back. (did this last year, so hopefully I remembered it correctly).
It's easier if you take out the headlights...and the radiator...taking out the headlights and radiator is easier if you take off the hood...okay maybe you're not halfway there yet
