Got it back from Maaco today. The paint looks good and there was a lot of overspray. Was cheap though, and just fine for me:

Apparently people who do that are called "whackers" and it is not cool.

I want the push bar back on because there are already holes cut in the bumper for that. Beyond that I'm leaving the exterior alone.

Looks good for a Maaco job.

Did you prep it yourself?

It's running just fine. There's a very slight shudder when I'm stopped, but from what I've read, changing the tranny fluid will fix that (and that's on the list). We cleaned out the top end, and then I changed the plugs and oil and coolant and I have new LSD oil and a new fuel filter for it. I need to get a new lower radiator hose and I have a neighbor who is a Ford mechanic and he told me that there on tensioners on the timing chains and that I should take a look at those. The trunk button wasn't working because the car has to be on - it's fine.

Nope. I probably should have at least cleaned it though.

I hit a bird on the way in to work today, but there was no damage. I saw her in the rear view after I hit her and she was able to fly up enough to get out of the road.

Maaco will surprise you everyonce in awhile.

I've seen them do some crappy paint and then on the flip side i've see some awsome work come form them.

Me no like. You could have at least painted it a different color or put the stock grill and rear insert so people don't slam on their brakes every time they see you.
