how the hell do you remove the front slam panel and or attaching panels ? ? ?

the front slam panel is welded on.  You'll need a spot weld drill or use an angle grinder to grind through the top part of the metal where the spot welds are.  Obviously you'll have to replace the panel with a new one after this!  I riveted mine on so it can be removed easily to take the engine out.

what do you mean by "attaching panels"?

oh right, yeah you can get all that out without removing the slam panel, the only reason to remove the slam panel is to replace it.  Glad you are sorted  8)
