THE BAD:

- Small area near gas tank filler neck has a very slight fuel leak. I patched the area but it is still weeping a bit. It will likely need gas tank repair or replacement. It does not leak at 1/2 tank or less of fuel either, so it's not necessarily urgent.
- Some MINOR paint repair is needed (bottom of driver door, the way the vehicle came to me).. in fact, the entire driver door is probably due for repaint. It looks like at some point someone put color OVER the clear coat (WTF). Anyways, when I had the car polished, the color came off in one small area where this was the case (underneath driver side mirror). Again, the bottom of the driver door needed painted anyways, so the entire thing is due.
I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff, but as you can see, the list is quite extensive. This car really is great!
