Green96GTPchick Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 In my unfortunate accident, the hood release latch was bent severly. I can't open the hood. What are the chances that the front piece that connects the fenders in front of the engine ( i dont know what it is called) could be bent? And if it is, can it be fixed? Since we cannot open the hood we dont know. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green96GTPchick Posted November 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Jackie , gimme a call tommorrow I'll get the fucken thing open. Can you keep it shut afterwards if it doesnt want to latch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfewtrail Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 you probably just need to get underneath the car and hit whatever part of the latch is bent with something long and a hammer ...if worst comes to worst and you have to break the latch off underneath, you can pick one up at a junkyard or throw some hood pins on 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
