Passenger side front end disoriented

[Patrick]

I hope this is the right forum... it didn't really seem to be a technical thing.

Seeing as how I'm getting more and more free time, I feel it's probably a good time to start working on the aesthetics of my gen 1 Mark. Working condition is practically perfect now. =)

This is the only picture that I have at the moment, because I've no idea what else y'all might need to see to help me out. No, I didn't do this damage to it, it was like that when I bought it in February! No, really, I swear!

As you can see, just about everything on the passenger side has kind of been shifted. Said side of the hood has been bumped up a few centimeters, the chrome strip is covering some of the headlight, the headlight is farther back than the driver side, etc etc.

Upon request, I'll take various pictures as requested to add here, I just figured this would be a good start and y'all can help me out from there.

And please don't say anything about the grille-- I've already got a fix for that in the works.

It looks nothing more than slip shod body work.

Most likely wrecked in the front and tweaked the hood, fender and header panel alignment. The repairs were shoddily done without regard to checking for proper alignment first.

A good body shop will be able to measure and correct the misalignment.

Alright, that's what I thought, I was just hoping that it was work that I'd be able to do myself... ya know, to save money. haha. Thanks for the reply! If anyone knows of a way that I might be able to do it myself, that'd be great, but since I'm guessing one of the hinges for the hood was bent, it's probably not a "do-it-yourself" type thing.

A good body shop will have the specs they need to put everything back in proper place. Without that info, it'll take a lot of trial and error.

Aah, okay. For some reason, I didn't even consider the aspect of needing to know exactly where it goes. hahaha, now I feel retarded. Thanks for the quick reply!
