Bump! New engine acquired with a flywheel. Manual Swap time? I think so.

So... my car broke down. :(

I was on the freeway when my car started making a loud ticking noise. At this point I was going up a large hill and lost power. I was able to restart my car after getting to the shoulder and limping my car up the hill. I noticed white smoke coming out of the exhaust. So... it looks like I will be rebuilding my engine and doing a 5 speed swap because I believe the torque converter is going out as well.

Also... I just refreshed the clear coat on some of the faded areas and it made a huge difference! I'm going to respray the clear coat on the trunk when I get some more clear coat this week.

Fixed the paint on the 3rd brake light:



Clear coat fixed on the hood:
