General
The car has absolutly NO rust
The paint is in bad condition (PO had a horrible job down so now is flaking,
needs repainting)
Was red now is silver
The car runs and drives great, I don't have any problems with snap oversteer at
all. Recently took it to autoX and had a fair ammount of power oversteer, but it
never snapped. My rear tire pressure was lower than desired and I had done a
garage alignment.
