No. They where rotten so cut off. ( half is left on 1 side tought it would help with the alignment but that is the worst side. It does all line up nice with bonnet. It's like the nose is pointing upwards. you can do anything if you set your mind to it...

it is hard without photos to really tell; I assume you have mounted the front panel using the solid mounts? if so, I'd try mounting up the panels without mounting the front panel to the subframe and see how it sits then.

when fitted my front end i welded the front panel to the wings before fitting. the wings can only fit in one place on the front panel so you can then align the wings to the a labels without it bolted to the subframe and see how front out the holes are from lining up. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

I had to do this on mine and then bolt it up to get everything to line up. Can i upload pica's from a mobile phone here? Otherwise i take some tonight or tomorrow. Yes full solid mounted now. But just to weld it toghether. It supposed to become a flip front. So needs to fit without pulling and punching. Pfff had a sleepless night and bad day at work thinking about it. Can it be that I might have deformed the floor where the subframe is bolted against... ? you can do anything if you set your mind to it...

Had that in mind to but was then thinking that the hole nose would sit croucet ( eum not straight) becous I have a gap that gows from 0 to 1.5 cm on 1 side and a gap from 0.5 on the other side. Pic is just a test. If it comes up ill take some in 20 minutes. you can do anything if you set your mind to it...

As said above, try clamping all the panels up without fitting the mounts for the front panel |

The A panel and wing at the A post are sitting too low.

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
Yep I agree with TD........ |
