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

Thanks to all. Can anyone measure their rear hood and give me the proper dimensions and gaps off an original car? thanks much. Also, can anyone give me a ballpark on what kind of price a mint 50K mile, always garaged , one owner 1975 1.8 would bring? Mint condition!! thanks

Mint condition!! thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Start a thread asking for a PPI. There are a lot of 914s and expert owners up here who are willing to help evaluate a car. 'Mint' condition rarely is, but sometimes it takes someone with a trained eye to see the deficiencies. Where are you located? |
