I don't see any obvious issues on this one...unlike the video of the other
car.
It's missing (or i don't see) the charcoal canister...and probably the
anti-run on valve...just guessing cus it's all kinda tied together. As far as
paint goes...hard to tell form pics. Makes you wonder what the original color
was?
The engine compartment doesn't look quite as shiny as the rest of the car.
Cheers,
Todd
