the parts might be cheap, but matching the paint isnt going to be. there is something like 8 different shades of milano red. i bet you cant guess which one was used when they repainted it… (because i have no fucking idea) 
That really sucks because this car had alot of potential. Who is working on the headgasket now? That car has been passed around more times through different mechanics than it has owners. You know you should have just showed up for your appointment 
i was going to but my gasket blew the day before so i didnt really want to drive it all the way there
