Default Lining up body panels

I bought my 94 EX with basically no front end. I have grabbed up a new bumper and hood and lights, still need a grill and fender. When I get the fender I need to know what the best way to get things lined back up is. I would assume there is a specific order for putting parts back on or at least a hard way and an easy way. Any tips?

first - thank you for the good English.

proper procedure is to line up the gap between door and the fender on both sides.

Then line up the gap at the top of the fenders to the hood

Then the nose to the front of the fenders.

Buy a couple of packages of shims and be prepared to get frustrated.

It takes a lot of experience to get good at lining up panels.
