93 Hood problem................

[unknown007]

So as you all know theres a dent on the front hood.Dunno if its a good pic but i got that for now.



That dent bent the driver side of the hood so when i open it i have to force it.I pull the hood latch thing and it pops but the hood stays in place until i force it.When i push it down the who hood bends and i gotta straighten it out and then close it and put pressure to flatten it.Any idea what i can do?

Whats the cheapest i can get a hood?

Thanks.

Edit:In my avatar you can see it up a little bit.

Get hold of a junkyard. I'd say if you buy a hood buy hinges with it since the hinges on the G50 hood are weak-sauce, good to have spares in case. I would also say that in the meantime you should get some cheetah grease or pb blaster to lube the hinges with. Lube the hinges on your new hood regularly and the bending of the hood shouldn't happen as long as you're careful. Push back rather when closing the hood rather than pulling down. I paid $300 for hood and hinges.

I hope I can buy or i mean find one.Thanks for the help and I'll be sure to do that.I was suppose to sell my car but I'm done begging for a legit price or trade I'm just keeping it thanks.

One of my hinges on the dented hood pushes in but like stutters when it closes.Then moves slow.

Start saving for a new alternator???

Definitely keep trolling for a good used hood. You will have to open it to monitor the engine.

Thats true but i meant,before my new battery i had to jump start my car EVERYDAY and now I don't.Plus my alarm would go off because of the battery dien,I'm guessing the car trips out with a low battery and it made it go off.Anyways yeah i'll be sure to look at the junk yard. I'll be saving for an alternator even though it was replaced before i bought the car lol.I think the recipet said feburary.

Or possibly the under hood pin switch isn't getting enough pressure due to the bent hood. It's in roughly the same area as the bend in the hood...
