unfortunately paint is at the bottom of the list right now. i have to fix the car mechanically from all the bastardization the previous owner did to it. like the cut springs or the quad tipped exhaust and even the CEL for the non-existant o2 but progress has come along pretty quickly i bought this car may 16th :-)
