So, it’s pretty disappointing there were SO many problems with the car after all this time, effort, and supposed quality control.

It does look fantastic.

Driveline - yes. Not new engine and trans and such. Just the driveline itself.

It is like a new car - EVERYTHING was redone.
Don (the fella I who owns the shop) and I went over the list - item by item.
He did not have any contrary comments on anything I had. In fact, he had 6 or 7 items of his own that I put in (that I would not have picked up).

All told - it is a work in progress... and I think the next visit will be much more successful.
