Slam panel probably isn't straight.

You'll need to pull-out the whole bridge with a jig by the sound of it.
Check the frame geometry while you're at it.

Did you ever fix this?
Was the car in a crash? Mine was hit from the front and it broke one of the plastic prongs that holds the rad panel in place, so it was being pushed in from the bottom, so the bonnet wouldn't lock.

Being the picky sort - I really hate it when people say this. Yes we all know what it looks like - but we all want to see the condition that yours is in! | |
