- Bilstein sport shocks, all 4 corners 3/5/03 at 116K
- Miscellaneous - spark plugs, seals, fuel lines throughout ownership of vehicle

- Paint bubbling repair left upper cowl (about size of quarter) 7/26/04 from work windshield seal that leaked (windshield seal obviously replaced as well)

- The Rev Limiter Relay, A/C and the cruise control are the only components on the vehicle that do not function. The A/C has all parts installed but the system will not hold a vacuum. The end of the cable connector for the cruise control is broken - the entire assembly needs replacement. The Rev Limiter Relay is not working correctly and needs to be replaced.
And here are the photos:
Rear wheels are one year old... front were refinished at the same time... very nice looking:

Now for the bad part... paint retouches were not done, how should I put this, correctly... not concourse by any means.
Here are the photos:
They should have eliminated the sticker.... instead it was painted around it... This was one of the previous owners that the person I just got the car from...
Here you can see some of the clear coat coming off...
more clear coat coming off... here from around the hood crest...

My first thought was... man, this is too nice looking for what I want to do with it... those flaws in the paint will actually help me do the changes I want without feeling too bad...

That car was for sale on Pelican for a while, right? I remember the door panels in particular. It's a very pretty car...great color.
Before you ditch those door panels, could you post what company made them (if you are able to tell from the panel or if you have the paperwork)? I'd love to buy a set of those in black, and cannot fin any other pictures of those except that want ad with this (your) car!
