Default I fixed my car!

I had my headlights pushed back so there was kind of a nasty space between the headlights and the corners. So I popped the hood and took a lot inside and saw this screw that was attaching the light to some angular metal thing. So I took a Screwdriver and turn it and the headlight slowly popped back out and is now flush with the corner. It is not pressed up tightly against it because I have a 89 and that was when there were screws instead of clips so I don't know if I can get it any tighter but it looks good now.

And then I was messing with my hood trying to get it to close better. I noticed the latch mechanism had this screw inside the spring. So I turned the screw so that it went further inward and when I closed the hood it was a lot better. So I did that some more so now my hood closes right with the top of the headlights. No more big space for air to get under.

And I went to the dealer and go some NH565 Touch Up paint and painted in those black primered spots on my Fenders. It doesn't look great but from a distance it is a lot less noticeable than the black spots so that is at least and improvement but I need to run another coat on top to get rid of the milky look.

The Headlight screw thing is easy as hell, it's a 30 second job. All you have to do is put the Screwdriver to it and turn it, the Screw is hidden by the closed hood but when you open it it is right above the light.

And I also found out my front end pieces above the Headlights aren't bent, so I can get Hood Pins soon.
