ooppss...wrong forum...my bad!!

I had just recently bought a 93 N/A. and only have these 3 issues with it.

the Frunk, Trunk, and Engine bay latches are not working(well or at all without a huge amount of work to do so) do you guys have a temporary fix while I get the parts ordered or take it to my shop?

thanks in advance!

Bungee the sucker! I'd put a bungee cord's hook into one of the holes in the bottom of the hood, run it down next to the radiator, and find something under the car to hook to. You'll want it pretty tight, if it came up at highway speed that would be bad.
