front wheels clearance issue a6oo gt wooden chassis

Hello folks, Happy Friday the 13th. Here's a bit of a mystery hopefully some of the smart ones on the list can help solve. After lining up the bonnet on the car and installing the front suspension, there are major clearance issues. I sending a long a few pictures to show how too far to the front the wheel is is the fender opening. When pointed straight ahead I can't even insert a finger into the tightest part of the gap. And that's without the weight of the engine and transmission which are still out of the car. Its so far forward that on almost full lock, the wheel runs under the headslight housing and trie to push the hood up. It was close when I took the car apart 30+ years ago, but not this bad. What have I done wrong???? All suggestions for a fix are most welcome. Danny
