before

after\

as some of you may know a few months back i was involved in a pile up fuxing up my front end.

since i have gotten some temp headlights a new grill and today put a replacement hood.

my problem is it does not sit straight. i know for a fact something is bent causing the passenger side of the bumper to sit an inch or so lower then the driver side. but now the hood is about 3/4 of an inch above the fender on one side and on the driver side it sits almost flush . snyone have any ideas on how to line everything up?

also keep in mind the mounting points for the headlight on the fender are bent to s*** and i ziptied it about an inch lower in the center to so it would sit on the bumper. so that headlight will be sitting higher once i can find a replacement fender

i honestly dont even know what a frame machine is. and i just got this hood. i think it is the headlight being mounted lower because the bumper is lower that gives the impresstion the hood is bent the hood appears to be straight

check for a bent hood hinge or the fender to hood hinge... hard to tell but seeing as yout hood is bent in half that seems to be the weekest part that would be bent back.

more pics of the top frame rail would be nice...

looks like my zenkie after i hit a dear lost october...

does the door hit the fender or come close to rubbing when you open it?
