The angled bonnet is not matching the squarish shaped car, I am open for correction

Well, the incorrect stance of the car has been irritating to me for long and finally we got onto to correcting it.
The drooping front
The reason for the car drooping from the front was a bit silly, if I may say so, we did not have the correct radiator mount as it was missing, the one fabricated here was so low, that the starting handle hole and the hole in the radiator grill also did not match, all this unfortunately was missed, silly mistakes do happen, happy that we are now able to fix it.
Front taken apart
work on
The right stance, finally
the bonnet panel's, will now have to be re-aligned and corrected.
Would like to thank everyone who brought this to my notice.
cheers
