Hood Straightening
The previous owner of my 1985 1/2 944 decided to drive down the road with the hood unlatched. The hood flipped up and broke the windshield which has since been replaced. However the hood is still crooked. At the bottom of the windshield I can see the battery, and Im concerned because the elements can enter pretty easily. Also on the front of the hood by the headlight on the passenger side the hood sticks up and at highway speeds vibrates. At a casual glance the car looks straight, I dont want to spend any money, because it doesnt matter enough to me enough, but is there some clever trick I could use to straighten it out??

all of these cars you can see the battery at the bottom of the windshield. The battery box has drain holes for that reason. Isnt the points at the top of your hood all bent up? I would get a new hood. Things like this are easier to answer w/ a picture....
sounds kinda like another Rock to me...

Yeah the points up top have stress marks where it was bent back, it sounds like my car is really trashed, but its not as bad as it sounds. THe only part that shows the damage is the front by the headlight where it sticks up and flaps, sorry I cant get a picture the car is at my parents house, seeing as Im at college
