What was this guy thinking ? No, No, No

Looks like he painted the rubber chin spoiler, didn't remove seals, has paint coming off in several spots, and has headlight frames unpainted after all that redness. The biggest No No was changing the Color!!!
May be a good car, but, the paint work would scare me off. I'm sorry if I've insulted a fellow Rennlister, but, he did all the things that a cheap paint job has done. Spend the extra money and have it done correctly.
Congrats on the engine and tranny work though...

Really? Now I'd be worried about buying a car off of eBay - or I guess from anyone anywhere these days. And, I know pictures can be deceiving. But, that one looks kind of good to me from the pictures. I kind of like the black headlights and I can see the lower chin in red as someone's personal preference, though not mine. You at least have to give the guy credit for all the pictures with the chips and his diligence in putting a coin next to it to show the size. Of course, that can all be a cover up by using fake honesty to distract the viewer from the real problems.
