the previous previous owners idea on how to blend paint: get the wrong color, sand it with 80 grit sand paper, profit?

one of my flywheel bolts fell out which knocked the top dead center mark off my flywheel, so now my engine doesn't know when its at TDC and can't calculate timing due to that, hence my no spark issue.

I'll see if the ladyfriend is up to it. This weekend might be too close, not sure when it gets out. I'm having a couple of the deep scratches on the rear door and quarter panel done while the car is in, might as well. Only panel I don't care for is the rear bumper.

Then I need to wash/clay/wax the thing. Especially after so much sitting. I did find a place with the right bolts I need for cheaper than the dealer, so I need to torque the trans pan a bit more, get the trans flushed again, and we're rolling again. I'm going to do the tires before I go on any long trips...

Suspension will happen all at once. I want to do the coilovers at the same time I do the rest of the suspension, so that's just going to wait for a little.

if you saw some of the euro trash that came to this thing you wouldn't give two shits about any scratches or dirt, trust me.

its not a concours show. I still have that ding in my hood lol

its just the two spots, ill have them done, its hardly going to bump the total cost anyway.

hood matches pretty well, just got dinged around in shipping a bit. Still cheaper than any other option. Im happy to be getting her back on the road.
