yeah i figured it was either because of that or the guy i traded fenders with kept his car in a garage all the time and it never got affected by the sun.. it matches really good with the bumper and the hood but the door's a little off. you can really only see it at certain angles and depending on the lighting. it just bothers me cause i know it's there.

How old was the first owner 12 years old? Dry wall screws hahahahha

I am not sure it was rice before, it just looks like it had a $hitty dumba$$ owner.

Oh well glad its in some good hands now, keep up the good work

You did the equivelant to finding a mistreated dog/cat at an animal shelter, saving it, & giving it a good home. Brings a tear to my eye, Bravo!

Looks a lot better.

"i turn the car off and the lights and windshield wipers start turning on and stuff is shorting"


This is due to the famous rain gremlins found here. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/in...lins-rain.html
