Hey, well I've got the Lago car all leakfree/filled/washed/runs and  
drives like a new car.  The new windshield that was put in just  
before I removed the insurance from it and parked it 4 years ago(?)  
was a joy to drive directly into the sun.  The new oil pump bearing/ 
Fan clutch bearing make it idle silently and smooooooth.  However, it  
seems the headlights are pointing downward, and are definatly not  
right(just drove home in the dark...)  I had that whole front  
assembly sitting on the ground for a week or so, and know I didn't  
step on it or otherwise tweak it.  All the bolts lined right up, and  
the bumper slid right on and all looks good but the headlights are  
pointing downward enough to be non functional.  Just wondering if  
anyone's had this problem before.  I'm planning on pulling the bumper  
and verifying everything when I've got some time, but just wanted to  
check if I might have missed something.  I'm also planning on  
swapping out those lights, as they lived in the Colorado Mtns for the  
first part of it's life, and are really sandblasted, but want to  
verify that I've got the front framework on right before trying to  
swap headlights.  Hope all's well...Sincerely, Tom
