It looks like the drivers side of the bonnet is low at the hinge end, bonnet is held on with a couple of bolts and there is some adjustment/movement there which should level it up.
There should also be a couple of straps which pull the roof in when it’s folded down and yours seem to be missing as when folded down it’s not sitting right. The straps might be there just not pop riveted to the frame?

Theres certainly a few tweaks here and there to be done, not noticed the bonnet until you pointed it out so I'll have a look at that when I'm in the garage next.
I need to look at the roof as it doesnt look like its fastened in properly from the inside, I'll take a pic to show what I mean. Looks very unfinished and tatty inside with the roof up at the back.
