Another possibility is that the hood flew open while driving damaging the cowl and when they repaired it the gaps were filled in with bondo. Might explain the large crack on drivers side.
How do I know? This happened to my first 914 back in 79. Girlfriend left beach towel over front latch when she closed the hood. At about 45 MPH the hood was in my face. She wasn't my girlfriend after that. Body shop did an excellent job repairing the cowl with the gaps and reinstaling original rubber piece. It's possible. |
