Hello All

Can the front bumper be adjusted? It doesn't appear to be bent. However it appears to be looking at the sun (or stars if it is night time). My father loosened all the bolts but it didn't budge. I forgot how to move the photo but it is the my recent PV photo. It looks worse once I put a front plate on it. The plate looked like a snowplow! Thanks!

It looks like it's too high and too far in, especially the centre section. I think I'd take it completely off and get everything squared up before refitting it. The irons might need a tweak but it's much easier to do that with them in a vice.
Looks a nice car but I'm biased because my '65 Amazon is the same colour!

Maybe he didn't loosen ALL the bolts, or maybe he didn't loosen them enough.
Also maybe the brackets themselves are bent. They can be straightened but you
have to take them off. Sometimes shimming with big washers will help also.
Is it possible someone tried to use a bumper jack on it?
