Dave: in the picture of your car being ably piloted by Birgit, it appears that your front lid doesn't quite line up with the headlight covers. ... was the nose pushed in a tiny bit at one point?

Nope, it was not. As far as I can tell, it was completely smashed in at one point, as was the left-front corner of the car. It was replaced with a partial "clip" from a donor car, and not done very well. The fit is, as you can see, mediocre at best.

The light blue on the front of the car is in really, really bad shape. I won a Zymol kit at the Worker Party as a door-prize, so maybe it will start to look better if I ever get some time to wash it!!

Clay, perhaps I should have said, "First place among all of those taking the 914 version of the Tech Quiz." The official scoring criteria, after all, do count the General (and Tie-Breaker) questions, not just the model-specific questions.

i am always amazed when i hear of how extensive restoration of a wrecked body is done. so, what could you and i do to improve the fit up front? play around with a hammer and dolly? or would we need to resort to something i have heard called a "rack?" whatever it is, it sounds expensive.

thanks, BTW, for the info.
