Hood is not closing properly
Hey guys my front hood is slightly off. I have a gap on the passenger side, on the driver side it is nice and snug.
I just ordered new struts from pelican as the originals will not hold the hood up anyway, any suggestion on if the hood will realign as i replace the struts or do i have a bigger issue? Have not found any visible signs of damage by the way. Pic of the hood issue. 84 Carrera 3.2 Guards Red

Struts shouldn't have anything to do with it. I don't even have struts.
Maybe your bumper is crooked? |

Bumpers appear to be crooked, or maybe the pics is deceiving.
Does the hood line up with the left and right valance? Is the rubber smile lined up properly? Is it straight? Full frontal pic would be better. ( of the car, not you....)

move the latch down a bit and balance the sides by adjusting the rubber bumpers. they screw in and out. you may need new ones if they're squished or damaged.
