      That was a (cheap) repaint. It had been painted before, and the LF fender had major clear coat issues and there were a couple of rust spots and deep scratches I had taken care of at the same time. I also went with Bilstein sport shocks and H&R race springs. I'm happy where it sits as its going to be my daily driver. The picture angle and the car sitting on the e-brake makes the front look a little higher than it is.

          <$1k including prep and minor repairs. Its got some orange peel, but has a real good 5-10ft. finish. Presentable, but not going to win any awards.

              Pretty impressed with the work for what you paid. Looks even better in person.

                                Got the dreaded p1189 code on the S52 car. Linear O2 sensor, Fuel Control (bank 2, sensor 1), Oxygen sensor heater type 1.

                                Was gonna start with looking for oil separator leaks, then manifold, then MAF, then O2. My gut thinks its a vacuum leak.

                                Any thoughts anyone?
