Dan,
This is a Google search of “Sunbeam Tiger Engine Compartment.” In the first three rows are images (a green Tiger in particular among others) and the pictures will give you some idea of what it looks like.

All,  I've taken some better pictures (still not great but hope they will do) and put it together in a PPT then to PDF format.  If anyone with detailed experience would care to review and provide feedback on what I suspect is damage vs. what might actually be stock factory construction it would be appreciated.  Also note in last e-mail I called out the drivers side but I mixed with the car sitting on it's side.  The suspect damage is on the passenger side (or top of the car with it on it's side).



I'm trying to get a better opinion because;

  a.. I don't actually know what this should look like

    a..   Is NOTHING wrong?  The crossmember did drop right out of the car without any issues. 
    b..   The passenger wheel does look OK centered in the fender (but I've never seen the car at proper ride height with a drive train in it.
  b.. Should passenger/drive be symmetrical?  

  c.. Do I have it wrong and what I think is a problem in the passenger but could the drivers side be wrong?


Also on the last page is a picture of the lower radiator surround.  At the passenger side it's only an 1" high and drivers side its almost 3" (estimates).  Is this stock?  I don't see an obvious repair or bend here but seems very strange that it wouldn't be same height all the way across.  



thanks again

dan
