Hi all,
Does anybody know what this "pocket" in the right rear of the front trunk lid is/was for? Also, are there any tips or tricks I should know about putting a stainless sleeve on the worn part of the shifter rod? I presume that it's a machine shop job and has to be shrunk on? Thanks for both.   |

The theory I've heard is the inner structure was designed when there was going to be a fuel door in the hood and the "pocket" was to accommodate that. The fuel door was later axed in the design phase but the feature in the inner structure remained.

Here is the 914.006 prototype with the fuel door that never made it to production: Attached thumbnail(s)
