Norm, looking at that pic, do you know if the bonnet has been adjusted so that it protrudes a tiny bit past the wing lines on purpose? The reason I ask is that it looks like it keeps the smile rubber nicely in place. Mine is flush with the consequence that the smile rubber can pop up above the bonnet, especially when the rubber hardens up in cold weather.

Wow!! Geez Norm you sure don't do anything by halves... The car looks amazing and everything you've done is very tasteful and those Recaros certainly DON'T ruin the car. I'm still trying to source RS rear glass in Australia for something less than a king's ransom.

Enjoy getting her back on the road.

I hope its just not closed properly, or that the new rubber seals are a bit fluffy pushing the bonnet slight when locked, but will double check tomorrow.

When you looked at this one without the smilie it fits flush.

Jaime,

I just love 964s no matter what condition, each to their own I guess!

Russ, dont be silly, I still want to see even if the standard of your car is better or worse!.......as I said each to their own.

The bonnet I guess is just a few adjustments.
