I think a good Porsche mechanic could find out your problem. One would think a good Porsche shop would also recommend a good Alignment shop in the local area. Your 1979 911SC should have Bilstein Strut housings, they are green in color. Have an mechanic check the distance from the strut housing to the wheel and tire for equal clearance. The left front would have less clearance with -2.0 degree's of negative camber. The strut spindle may have shifted on the housing. Check the base of the spindle on the strut tube for a crack in the paint. If this is the problem, you will have to replace the left front strut housing. If the distance is equal on the strut to wheel and tire, check the front hood for equal clearance on each fender. The gap should not change from the bottom to the top of the hood line. If you have Uni-body damage the gap will be not be equal on the left fender. If this exsits, you will have to find a good frame shop.
If your rear fenders measures 25 3/8 inches, your front fenders should be about a 1/4 of an inch higher at 25 5/8 inches. This is under the assumption that you have 205 55 16 front and
225 50 16 rear tires. Providing your frame unibody is straight, your fenders should be equal from side to side.
Hope this helps,

Good luck!
