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

hood gaps, door gaps on most older cars were never as good as cars built now. i think we assume they were to start with when new, like new cars nowdays.
i don't think i've ever seen really nice gapped headlights on any 914... part of the 914 charicter we all love! |
