it's kinda hard to see as I have not taken a good pic of it...if I get a new hood will it do the same thing...I am going to rebuild the car and make it not a piece...but I really want a non-rusted, non-bowed hood... also my driver's door doesn't line up too well check it out (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/Skate_4_Detention/MyWRX001.jpg) it's also hard to see but the rear fender sticks out like an extra centimeter at the very bottom...and the other side is fine...should I shim the hinge on the bottom in between the door and the hinge bracket?...so it will twist the door out a bit more or what... |

yeah I was thinking that too...I'll figure something out whether I have to cut and reweld it or not...but the hood, I don't know...see I bought this car from a guy in Tulsa Oklahoma for $700 bucks...I was going to make into a racecar with my dad...and I'm only 17 so I don't know much about body work...but I think this car will teach a lot haha...but, the whole thing is ghetto...I'm working on a rotisserie right now to fix everything right...the inside of the fron trunk has just been sprayed with this black stuff that you'd see on the bottom of a car...and it was poorly done so not I have to go and take pretty much that and the whole rest of the car to bare metal and repaint it...but everything works in it except the battery but it still runs if you jump it...the hood pins don't look like they fit well so I bet over time it pushed the hood up...it had been sitting outside for a few year on the side of this guy's house...oh well, looks like a new hood...
