• As i layed out above these are the things i see need to be fixed to be perfect but keep in mind it is a Driver ive only traileredit to very far away shows just like anything it needs a little TLC Its time for someone else to have a Blast in it like we did.
• It has some paint defects down low where its scraped on the inside of the trailer i have fixed the chips with touchup paint so you cannot hardly see them
• The car does smoke a Bit and uses oil the timing cover leak coupledwith the blow by tube needs some TLC
• The lights work on High beams but if you hit the low beam switch on the floor they will go out completely
• Bumpers look great from a distance they are not dented but do show some Hazing when you look closely in my opinion it takes great pictures but to be perfect they would need re chroming there again im being real picky
• All trim is very nice there are a Couple of spots where the trim has some dented area there again im being picky
• On the trunk between the bottom lip of trunk lid and the Bumper the Paint is Hazy in that area from the Factory there is quite a Bit of Lead work that make the paint look Hazy there again im being real picky
• Speedo does not work
