    Looks like it had a front impact at some point... hood, bumper, and headlights don't seem to line up, but it could just be the angle. Otherwise SUPER clean for a '93. Nice find!

    The hood is popped and the bumper was off for the Joe D bumper build, I did that when I went and looked at it a few months ago. The hood does need refinished, the clear coat is all faded. Some wet sanding should fix that. If not, its nothing a little herculiner won't cover, or perhaps a matching functional hood scoop/heat vent wont't fix

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Cool, I thought the hood might be popped but good to hear the other stuff has a legit explanation too. A hood scoop/vent would look really mean - maybe you should go all the way and retrofit Marlinstein Bumper v1 to give it the true hardcore look.
