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 everyone. I've owned a 356 Roadster for 35 years(my first car). In the middle of restoring it and have put a ton of money into fixing all the rust that has accumulated through the years...soooo, I know what you're getting at. I'm really sensitive to the rust problem. There's no such thing as a rust free 356, unless you've just restored it! I don't know much about 914's..just that I had to chose to buy either a 356 or a 914 all those years ago...always wanted a 914 and thought ..someday I might get one! Thanks for the help and the welcome to the site. If I ever take the plunge, I will def. get a PPI by one of you experts. Best regards. Dave
