I'm having hood/headlight issues

Hey there

I just bought an 87 rx7 and it has been in a fender bender. The bumper, side fender, hood, and headlight were kinda bent and messed up on the left side. I got all of the replacement pieces from various rx7's. I took everything off that needed to come off and started putting on the replacement parts but everything isn't going exactly as planned. I can't get the left headlight to align up perfectly and the hood isn't aligning. I know it's the right size hood because I put it on top of the old one and they are exactly the same size, but it rests ontop of the headlights a bit instead of fitting right in. I messed with it for hours but didn't seem to get very far.

Any help at all will be very much appreciated.

Thanks

soul

More than likely the actualy frame of the car shifted in the crash. YOu might have to have a body shop straighten that out for you. Only explanation I can think of.
