Hi guys, as the title of the post says I just started the restoration of my BJ7, and I have found the car had a front accident during its life that was poorly repaired. It has lots of filler in the front shroud and some cracks on the bottom end where the shroud attaches to the chassis.

Anyway, I am taking all the paint+filler away from the front shroud to have it correctly repaired this time and I was wondering if you have to remove the doors in order to remove the outer front wings. I can see some of the screws holding the part to the shroud looking in the wheel arches, do I get to the rest of the screws from the engine compartment?
Also the guy that will be repairing the alluminium front shroud has told me that, firstly he wants the part fitted to the car to take it to the right place, and then we'll remove it from the car to finally smooth it as much as possible. I am guessing the front windscreen will have to go out in order to remove the front shroud but I would really prefer to leave the front doors fitted to the car as we will be doing all this reapairs at his place and then I'll have to move the car again to my place.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
