So most of you know I sold my 94 GT Faux in October to a guy in Oregon who had a 6gc in the past and I sold it to him becuase he had seen my car a car show 2 years prior and I was glad to let it go to someone who knew about 6gcs. Well I got a comment today on Myspace from him that the hood wasnt latched when he took it out and now the hood is messed up. Im assuming that it flew up. I havent seen pics but Im super sad now. Hes selling it for 2500 I hear but theres no way I can buy it back but jeeze! Have any of you let go a car to only find out that it got hurt? I know its not mine anymore but I cant help but be sad. It was ok for me to 'F' up the car when I had it but to see someone else accidently hurt it makes me sooooo sad and kinda mad but I know I cant be mad at the owner because well its not my car anymore and it was an accident.

Let me see if I can explain it better....
There are 2 parts of the hood latch. The actual latch that holds it shut, and the hook that grabs it once it pops up a little bit. With the st205 hood the hook is too short. You can fully close the hood, but you wont be able to open it again because the hood doesn't pop high enough to get your hand in there. To fix it, you can extend the hook, however you have to guess the exact length. Too long, and it wont shut, too short, and it will be hard to open (or to tell if its closed all the way). You can avoid all that buy just buying the st205 latch. I think its only about 100bucks. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
