Ever find one of your vehicles assembled incorrectly years later?

I was just going through an old box that I've had in storage for the past 15 years or so to look for an old H.I.S.S. II Tank.
Since it was one of the last vehicles that my brother and I got I figured that it would be in better condition than the rest of the vehicles we had. It was, but it still needed a bit of a cleaning.
As I was carefully taking it apart I noticed that some of it was assembled incorrectly. The front hinge of the body bottom was never flipped up and turned into the body, and both of the axel wheels were put into the wrong tabs. One axel wheel has a ring on it which fits into a slot undneath the body. The other doesn't. I don't know how these things were missed back in the day, but I'm going to have to blame my brother since I think it was his and he's not as compulsive as I am.
In any case I put everything back together as per the instructions, but the front hinge had a hard time being put in place. In fact I'm worried that the pressure it is now putting on the main body might crack it over time.
Has anyone else here ever encountered a problem like these so many years later after the original build of a vehicle?
By the way I found everything but one of the black seat belt clips which I thought was still attatched to the Track Vipers waist, but unfortunately it wasn't. I'll check the bottom of that box once I go back to my storage unit, to look for it but I'll probably just end up getting one off ebay.
