hi im removing both a panels as im fitting a fibreglass flip front with a panels included, wats the best way to remove them? im thinking to reattach them just make an L bracket with dzus fasteners and welding it to the door pillar so i can take the whole front of at once, if that makes sense?

They're lipped round the wheel arch/door pillar so you'll want to slide them back towards the door. If I was keeping the wing I'd run an angle grinder through them behind the wing seam, then cut the welds at the bottom and top on to the body. Easier with the doors off.

I'd also think about reinforcing the wheel arch around the door hinges, it'll be prone to flexing without the A's 'n you won't want the wheels chucking grime through gap on to your doors. You'll also need to get the hinge position right, if it's too high on the front it will foul on the doors (assuming a flip forwards arrangement).
