I started working on the front end brackets. I don't think there was one bracket that did not need some kind of tweaking or welding to make them fit correctly. I started with the head light buckets and brackets. I had one headlight that was mounted funny. I found out that all four headlight buckets are different. I was not sure which one I needed. But, after sandblasting them I noticed that they were all labeled with L1,L2,R1,R2. I had to come up with one to have a complete correct set. After that was achieved I moved onto the headlight bucket brackets. These were very bent up and needed about four hours to get them complately straight.
Fixed, now just need to media blast them.
I guess the PO did not like how the front end lined up and needed more adjustment. All three of these holes were made with a torch.
I started with cutting out little pieces of metal and welding them in from both sides.
All welded in and ground down flat.
