Steering problem
1979 MG Midget 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 40,000 miles

i have a 1979 midget. my brother completely tore it apart 20 years ago, he has since passed on and we are trying to put it back together. we are really baffled with the front end alignment. when we put the tie rod ends into there proper places and the steering wheel is turned to center one wheel faces forward and the other faces at a 6 inch angle away from car. does any one know what the problem is? what should we do? p.s. theres no frame damage.
thankyou, were are loosing our minds
