Front slam panel on Willy 1

[f13ldy]

i'm just removing the engine on my Willy 1 and figured it'd be easier to get it out with the inlet manifold off (?) Lack of a crane meant i thought it'd be easier to dismantle it in situ. Manifold is now completely loose but cant get it to go past the slam panel, its annoying cuz its literally just 1cm more room required to get it off!!

I've had a look to see if the slam panel is removable but it seems to be also spot welded in place with no sign of repair (car allegedly accident free).

Where are the bolts for the slam panel located? Maybe im just being stupid and cant see them?!

the slam panel is held on with 4 bolts - 2 at either end. If you look at the two brackets holding the radiator up they will be bolted to the slam panel.
