So I'm in the proccess reviving the crashed Celica. I was told that the 94 ST fenders fit on the 97 ST. So basically I put on 94 hood and drivers side fender on my 97 ST. But now I noticed that there is more clearance between the drivers side hood and fender. Also, there is less clearance between the drivers side door to fenders. Any suggestions or tips? Did I do something wrong? I will try to gets pics asap, but this confusion explaination will have to do for now.

undamaged panels do not change between any of the years of USDM celicas, with exception to the front bumper. So the unibody comes into question

The frame seemed pretty good... -------------------- "God created turbo lag to give V8's a chance"

if you say the frame looks pretty good, do some alignment or adjustment, the hood has adjustments and move the fender to where it should be and modify or adjust accordingly.

Alright so I got the the fender issues all figure out. I though I was done... until I figured out the hood latch doesn't line up with hood. So I can't completely close the hood! I made as many adjustments on the hood possible but still no good. Any ideas?
 The frame seems good to me so I don't think thats the issue...
