Working on a 88 Slantnose, need help with parts removal

[nspec]

hey guys. Its been a long time since I've been on forums. Cant seem to find the search function here?

Anyways, Im working/restoring the body on a 1988 Slantnose Turbo for a customer. It only has 10k miles on it. Right now I'm doing PDR on it and final part will be touching everything up.
Even though the car has low miles, it sat in the garage with out any protection and got covered in several dents and scratches all over the body.

There are a few things I've tried searching on youtube but not luck. Some DIY links can be great. I can tackle majority of it but just to be extra careful, would love to see if there are DIYs already.

Need to remove the rocker panel/side skirt to repair under body damage from someone jacking up the car from the wrong spot and bending the quarter panel.

I know slantnose were converted from factory, in order to remove the pop up assembly, the front bumper needs to come out. I noticed where the fender liner goes, this car has fiberglass. Are there any special instructions to remove the front bumper compared to normal 911s?

Last, the driver door has about 30 dents on it, some very bad. In order to remove the entire door, is there a quick disconnect for the door harness or everything has to be unplugged from the door and pulled out?

Thanks in advance!

Try the 930 forum. There’s way more knowledgeable users there regarding the slamtnose stuff. And expect requests for pictures. No matter what you say, people will want to visually verify that it’s a factory car.

@nspec I've found this Google custom search (created by another user, not claiming any credit) very useful for searching the tech forums... https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=014238775269149376701jolaky8hjg

Wiring should have two plugs inside the trunk/tub area for the doors to come off.

Rocker panels- remove rubber strip and take screws out and three bolts from underneath.

Fibreglass fenders are not original on a Slantnose. It could be a Slantnose that got a replacement glass fender but my bet is that this is a home conversion (and there is nothing wrong with that).

Doors come off easy enough but you either need to fish the wires through or cut them in the door and resolder and heat shrink later.

'88 Slant would have the 505 option code. All steel.
