Thanks for the warm welcome!
The paint on this car has no signs of fading whatsoever, which is why I still bought it even with the transmission problem. There are a few shallow dings on the hood and the driver door but not bad overall. Also, the engine is in very good condition. I will get a front-end alignment done as soon as the transmission is fixed. For some reason, the steerer stopper is too high that when max-ing out on tight turns, it is actually creating a groove on the lower arm stop. I'm thinking the previous owner must have used bigger wheels/tires on it and adjusted the stopper to prevent the tires from grinding while on tight turns.
I'm looking forward to the work it still needs!
