Coil spring removal update.......

I posted the question weeks back about how to get my coil springs out of my subframe, which was removed from another car.
 
After trying multiple compressors which were not compatible, I used a 3/4 inch threaded rod with double nuts on each end and triple washers.  It went amazingly well.  Had to open the upper shock hole up to accept the rod, and used a short section of 3/8 thick aluminum bar stock under the lower control arm.  Once the rod was hand tight, it was maybe 5 rounds on the nut to relieve the pressure which allowed the removal of all control arm bolts.  Then it took 10-15 rounds on the nut to let the coil expand.
 
Thanks to all that responded to the original question.  I took away from those inputs the importance of safety in dealing with these springs.  An invaluable lesson.
 
Now for the next step.  I will be restoring the subframe, control arms, brakes and replacing all the bushings/ball joints on this frame.  Then it needs to go into the car.  I do recall that some of you said the entire clip could be removed together.  Is it best to try and remove the sheetmetal as a whole or in pieces?  I removed the sheetmetal from the donor car as a single unit.  It was a bit crude though.  I shutter at the thought of flexing the fenders out far enough to clear the inner fenders and firewall in order to remove the unit as a single mass.  I am really leaning towards removing each component individually. 
 
Thanks again for the posts.

You can pull the front clip off as a single unit but, it helps to have a friend over when you do it because you need to spread the fenders away from the inner wells along the firewall section.

I then tore it down to individual panels so I could do my repairs.

TIP: remember to watch for the brake lines when reassembling the subframe to the body. These can bend and crimp very easily and these items are not cheap!
