i just bought a 2004 mustang gt about 2 months ago. I was told it was never hit but when i put it in the air to do the first oil change i noticed masking tape on the underside of the front bumper. So after fighting with the dealership i found out from the previous owner that he hit a bike and the front bumper was replaced. oh well, no big deal. Anyways, i never really noticed it till i had the car on my lift at work. I noticed the gap on the bottom of the drivers door and the gap on the bottom of the passenger doors are very different. One side has about 1/2 gap which from other mustang pics i have seen seems to be the normal gap. the other side the bottom of the door and the sideskirt are just about touching, just the bottom of the front part of the door. the rear part has a little gap. I then looked at the body line that runs along the side of the car and that is off to. I just seems to me that one of the doors has to raised up and one door has to be adjusted down slightly.
I then went to a local body shop cause i wanted to see how much it would be and how hard it would be to realign all the seems and whatnot. He then told me that with ford they are known for not having the best fitment and perfect body lines.
I was just wondering if anyone else has ran into this problem. I know the front bumper was done but it really doesnt look like any of the other panels have been removed or anything. No scratching on any of the hardware from sockets or anything like that.
