Patric, no they surely must have had some help to get where they are!

I believe what has happened is that the bumper have at some time hit something or been hit. So the whole tube support back to the frame is bent and now sloping down. It probably should be pointing straight forward. The holes in the frontplate must have been damaged from this. Then as a "repair" someone have just fixed the hole in the front plate without straightening the tube structure on the inside. It's a typical quick and cheap type repair.

What I can see is that the tube support is bent. I have to open up the holes in the front plate again, straighten the bent tubes and fill the resulting oblong holes at the bottom to make them round again but now higher up. That's the theory. I'll have to see if it's possible to make the tube structure new and get it up there and fixed to the frame.
