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

Take this from our group experience and not a put down. We've "all" bought mint condition cars only to find the rust in the hidden places. The Great News is we can help U inspect the car and know what you are looking at.
Under the battery. Under the floor tar at the back window under the firewall pad. Under the trunk pad at the tail lights. Etc. Do a search for rust and you'll see all of the places to look. Post pictures and we might help with the price too Once U drive the 914 you'll never go back. Just don't fall in love with the first car you see until it's been inspected.
