Howdy, new to site...looking at a 75 914 1.8 that's original owner, supposedly never painted...all orignal etc. My question is ..the rear hood has different gap sizes on the left and right. Is this original/normal? The right gap is about 5/8 " and left side is about 3/8" . The rest of the car gaps look great. Can this be adjusted or is this normal or a sign it's been hit. Rear hood seems to ride slightly higher on the left also. Thanks much for the help. Dave

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Check the hinge mounting points on the body. Sometimes these break off and are welded back on in the wrong place. Also look at the bolts that mount the hinge to the lid. If they have been unbolted the socket likely removed paint from the bolt heads. It may be a matter of re-aligning the lid.
