[TR] TR2/3 body fit & adjustment

Hello List:
Trying for a better fit on some of my body panels on my '2. I did have 
the body off and fitted a new mounting kit. Had the usual fiddling 
problems with door fit & some seams but now stumped on the rear trunk 
area. When fitting the new body mount kit, I made sure that the rear 
bumper bolts would go through the frame and used this as a reference 
point. However, my trunk opening seems to have 'shrunk', with the trunk 
lid sitting very high right in the center by the lock. Not even close to 
being able to close the lid, even without the weather stripping.
Wondering if I cranked down on the rear most body mounts to see if this 
might open the trunk opening and allow the lid to fit a bit better. Any 
hints on aligning this opening, especially after the rear bumper long 
bolts are installed?
Thanks for any help with this one.
