Default Help Fixing 93 civic ex front end

I have been having some trouble fixing my front end on my car. The front clip was replaced from a previous owner and seemed fine when i bought it but after the hood latch broke while i was driving and the hood broke my windshield.

So after getting a new hood i bolt it on and when i try to close the hood, it closes straight but the front end is about 3/4in too far to the right (looking at it from the front). i removed the bumper and headlights to get a better look but it seems there's no easy fix for this.

Anyone have any tips so i can get my car out running again?

iv had the bonnet flip whilst over taking about 70mph
never botherd replacing it just a bit of bending and heating the the frame bits where the skin is fitted to
anyway

if you have the bonnet/hood up on its stay loosen the bolts and twist/ shim the pannel slightly
iv always had 2 extra hands when doin this job its tricky wiv only 1 or 2 peeps
