Well the photo has been taken from a slight angle to the left of the car,but it aint that bad,i think neil might need to adjust the hinges slightly tiil it sit better,but i wouldnt put it all down to it being pissed..did you both meen this pic?

PS: it looks as if the bumper is on a slight angle too,bit low on the right of the picture??

the bumper would make it look pissed, but by the looks of things the rubber bungs that sit on the slam pannel need screwing in a bit more into the bonnet, the little black rubber jobbies that look like a thread that hardly anyone knows that they are adjustable

are you goin to fit hatch rear arch's to it? as i think it'd look a bit dodgy with the box arches on the front and round's on the back. it's gonna look preety good for a runaround anyway :+:

Nothing is screwed on properly yet so it will look wonky, yes the bonnet is wonky, need to sort it out.

Getting engine ready to put in it, its SORN'ed at mo so doing loads to it. Will get pics soon of interior as there is none!
