Body panel alignment
what tools are needed to move the body panels? Looks like my car was hit and things dont quite line up and theres atleast a half inch gap between the front fenders and the doors... so Ill have to move the panels back, the front bumper back, the hood and the head lights?
Mabye I made a mistake buying this car but I am still happy that I have it and am determined to do what it takes to bring it back to show room condition
Carfax is clean and it drives straight so there isnt any frame damage that I can tell, just cosmetic...

It might be easier to ask what tools per panel.
I have removed the front clip as well as the fenders and I used:
10mm deep socket 1/4" drive
7mm socket
7mm nut driver
torx bit for the fender bolts under hood and headlight covers
small screwdriver to pop up the plastic pop rivets
magnet to retrieve dropped fastners.
mirror to see blind fastners.
Maybe some more but can not remember.
