Hi, you have a challenge on your hands so good luck and enjoy it. If you end up having the same sort of fun as the Starlet looks to have been then you will enjoy it.

I'm tracking CSLs for the UK BMW CC and a colleague is tracking the CS/CSi, what's your VIN please, PM if you prefer not to publish. Given where you are I assume it's a RHD car.

Give my best wishes to the country I have very happy memories of visits there not so long ago.

What is the procedure for taking off the front clip?

Chicane,
I assume that you mean taking the whole front end off?
If so, and you want to keep the parts then I would suggest the following

1.. Remove front wings (drill out spot welds, cut at upper front nose cone, cut at windscreen apperture.
2.. Drill out spot welds for front nose cone.
3.. Remove bulkhead extensions (parts that go over inner wings)
4.. Drill out spot welds for inner wings.

Be warned its a long painful process

Chicane, Malc has summed it up spot on, and yes he's right, it's a pain in the arse job that takes lots of patience! and in the case of my left fender / guard a chisel was also employed as some previous work done by someone else made it very hard going (all sorts of bits welded together that shouldn't have been)
