My new resto project:

was hit passenger side front 1984 & has been off the road since. Bonnet is a write-off but another one came with the car.
By putting a rudimentary straight edge accross the front, I estimate the passenger side bonnet mounts are about 50mm behind the other side.
I should add the bonnet tilts forward a la Jaguar XJ6.
Does that make it a candidate for a stretch rack or will a big slide hammer do the job?
The panel affected is only attached to the the boot floor (rear engined!) with no cross bracing
