just sounds like you could take care of quite a few if you just go work on your car, So GO work on your car.....

I would love too...but I don't always have somewhere warm to work since i live in Alaska and my mom is selling the house. So the place i usually work on my car...has gone...and I can only work on the car on the weekends...but I also work on the weekends...so I have to take time off to work on my car...so it sucks. But its getting warmer so hopefully I can start to work on my car outside...

That really sounds like my situation. But a talon to mod and end up doing a whole restoration to keep it running to do so.

Yea I dunno I love my car and I am willing to put the money out when I have it for her! But I have a couple spots that need to be painted...could I just get that done pretty easily at a body shop...? just a couple areas thats the paint has either broke..have a decent ding or chipped.

paint is expensive! they may be able topaint the spots general area. but it is still going to be pricy.
