Strange hood

Unread post by rupert's » April 29th, 2020, 6:07 am

A few days ago I saw a mutt sale ad and I found the opening of the hood strange, because it is on the opposite side ... I just wanted to share it :)

The image is reversed; that is the driver's side.

In that case you would have to have the fuel tank entrance on the door.
A shadow is seen but it is small and it is not its exact place.

That hood appears to have a raised section in the center also so it has been modified. Who knows what else has been done under the hood. Sectioning a hood and moving that piece to the other side would be easy but there would have to be a reason to do it other than picture value. It is also much further back than the original position.

True! I had not noticed ... I have seen one more photo and it has modifications on the interior ... see the markers online instead of their original distribution and see also what appear to be two wiper motors.
As you say, it will have more modifications
