on the paint issue. Once my car is complete i am going to bring it to him and he is going to do the following

1. Wetsand the entire car, add another coat of clear, and wetsand again
2. Totally strip down the trunk and fill the 4 holes remaining and new primer, paint, and clear.

Sounds good.

So did he just put on the single stage paint like stock, instead of clear coating?

And how about that bent rim?

dont start with the bent rim, hahaha

No it had a clear coat, he's not sure exactly why it faded like it did. But hes hoping to new coat will fix it which im sure it will.

It wouldnt have mattered if I did have it because then I would be dropping more $$$$ into it. It was going to be close to a full sec faster than the MR2 will be. and over 100WHP more. But who cares now not my car any more
