Short intro, as this is my first post and first 914. Picked this up late last year and am just now getting around to driving it now that the weather is starting to turn. Pretty decent shape overall, but needs a lot of little stuff to make it good.
One major annoyance (besides the tail shifter!) has been the engine compartment lid. It's got some issues. The right side dips down below the level of the rear window rubber, not sure why. The mount look stock, and in decent shape. I guess the lid could be bent. But the big problem is the engine lid hits the rear lid's forward edge, and it has chipped the paint. I loosened the bolt under the right hinge but I've reached the travel limit of the slot. I'm as far forward as possible and it's still contacting the rear deck lid. So next I adjusted the rear deck lid hinge rearwards. This did the trick, but it's a temporary fix, obviously, since it looks awful. I'm hoping to avoid body work here, but I'm thinking I need to remove the engine lid entirely to sort this out. Any suggestions? |
